Research of Generalized Ant Colony Algorithm for Logistics and Distribution

Abstract:

Logistics and distribution problem, in essence, is the vehicle routing problem, belonging to NP-hard problem. For drawbacks of basic ant algorithm such as searching for a long time, easy to fall into local optimum, generalized ant colony algorithm has been proposed. Applying the generalized ant colony algorithm to logistics and distribution problem can improve the utilization of the vehicle; reduce transportation costs and achieve the purpose of scientific management of logistics.
