摘要
Orienteering problem is a well researched routing problem which is a generalization of the traveling salesman problem. Team orienteering problem (TOP) is the extended version of the orienteering problem with more than one member in the team. In this paper the first known discrete particle swarm optimization (DPSO) algorithm has been developed for 2, 3 and 4-member TOP. In the DPSO meta-heuristic novel methods have been introduced for the initial particle generation process. Reduced variable neighborhood search and 2-opt were applied as the local search tools. The efficacy of the algorithm was tested using seven commonly used benchmark problem sets ranging in size from 21 to 102 nodes. The results of the DPSO algorithm were compared against seven other heuristic algorithms that have been developed for TOP. It was concluded that the developed DPSO algorithm for the TOP is competitive and robust across the benchmark problem sets. © 2011 Springer-Verlag.
