Ant Colony Algorithm for Routing Alternate Fuel Vehicles in Multi-depot Vehicle Routing Problem

A New Hybrid Whale Optimization Algorithm for Green Vehicle Routing Problem

“…The performance of the algorithm HWOA was compared with the state of the art algorithms such as TS (Zhang et al, 2015), SA (Kuo, 2010), ACO (Zhang et al, 2019), PSO (Norouzi et al, 2017), and GA (Franco et al, 2017). Eight variations of the problem were applied to compare each algorithm (see Table 1).…”

“…Consequently, experts develop heuristic and metaheuristic algorithms to solve this problem. Several metaheuristics algorithms have been studied in GVRP to minimize fuel consumption, such as Simulated Annealing (SA) (Eydi & Alavi, 2018;Felipe et al, 2014;Karagul et al, 2019;Koç & Karaoglan, 2016;Kuo, 2010;Normasari et al, 2019;Yasin & Vincent, 2013), Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) (Jabir et al, 2017;Zhang et al, 2019), and Revised Hybrid Intelligent Algorithm (Wang et al, 2018). Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) (Norouzi et al, 2017;Poonthalir & Nadarajan, 2018), Tabu Search (TS) (Kuo & Wang, 2011), and Genetic Algorithms (GA) (Franco et al, 2017) were also proposed to solve it.…”

A Novel Approach of Smart Logistics for the Health-Care Sector Using Genetic Algorithm

“…Multi-Depot Vehicle Routing Problem is considered one of the well-known problems in the research field currently for solving the delivery of goods in multi-depot instead of one depot as VRP, the goal is to optimize cost and exchange between multiple sources and destinations. As proposed in [2], the author presents an approach using a model MDGVRP (MD green VRP) based on an ant colony with a solution to route the optimal path while considering the capacity of the vehicle and fuel capacity.…”

“…Clustering has been used to solve problems in diverse fields as bioinformatics, data mining, several methods, and clustering algorithms have been proposed to define hospital clusters. William Thomas has contributed several times for clustering and identifying hospitals with a methodology of clustering communities and hospitals simultaneously, which led to a geographically connected area of populations served by a common cluster of hospitals [1][2][3][4][5][6]. The State of Michigan has applied the Thomas methodology.…”

A Dynamic Strategy for Home Pick-Up Service with Uncertain Customer Requests and Its Implementation

“…As one of the hardest problems in operations research, VRP has received considerable attention. For the latest research on VRP, please see the literature [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18]. For the latest development review, please see the literature [19][20][21].…”
