摘要
In order to minimize the total cost and maximum gap among each tour in vehicle routing problems with simultaneous pickup and delivery (VRPSPD), a VRPSPD bi-objective model which considers the vehicle capacity and distance constrain simultaneously was established. The accuracy of the model was verified by testing in a commercial software. Then a specific multi objective ant colony optimization algorithm with an embedded tabu list and a greedy transfer rule was designed based on the definition of the problem. To optimize the solutions or generate new Pareto solutions in various neighborhoods, a multi-objective iterated local search procedure was executed on solutions obtained by ants. Response surface methodology was used to fit the mathematical relation of parameters and the objective functions in order to determine the best parameter combination. 12 sets of Solomon benchmark instances from literature were solved and Pareto solutions were obtained by the algorithm. The solutions with lowest cost (absolute preference to minimize the costs) from Pareto solutions were compared with previous results by several algorithms from literature which minimize the total costs only. The results indicate that the Pareto solutions acquired by the proposed algorithm provide good tradeoff between two objectives and yield approximate optimal of each single objective. © 2018, Editorial Department of Control Theory & Applications South China University of Technology.
