Study on Vehicle Routing Optimization for Fruit and Vegetable Delivery Based on Improved Ant Colony Algorithm
Huang Guo-quan · Storage and Process · 2011
According to fruit and vegetable are easy perishable,a time-window of fresh-keeping for fruit and vegetable was proposed and used as one of constraint conditions for vehicle routing optimization for fruit and vegetable delivery.An optimization model was established for dispatching routing of fruit and vegetable.Improved ant colony algorithm was used to resolve the model.Simulation experiment results showed that the dispatching routing of fruit and vegetable could be optimized using the proposed model and adopted algorithm.
