Zhao Li · Advances in engineering research/Advances in Engineering Research · 2015
In this paper, a method is proposed to design the optimal vehicles routing scheme for the logistics distribution.By taking the distribution cost as the objective, the vehicle routing optimization model at the case of many clients and one distributing center is established with some reasonable assumption.The artificial fish-swarm algorithm (AFSA) is a new intelligent method, which is fit to solve the NP problems with high dimensions.The principle of AFSA is presented with regard to the vehicle routing optimization model.The example shows that the optimal delivery routes can be obtained by the AFSA effectively by comparing with the particle swarm optimization.
