Abstract:This research combines Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) with Crossover and Mutation Operators of Genetic Algorithm (GA) to produce a hybrid optimization algorithm to solve a routing problem identified at Zoomlion Ghana Limited, Sekondi Takoradi branch. PSO is known to converge prematurely and can be trapped into a local minimum especially with complex problems. On the other hand, GA is a robust and works well with discrete and continuous problems. The Crossover and Mutation operations of GA makes the iteratio… Show more
