Harmony search algorithm for solving selection of multimodal transportation scheme with several time windows
Lai Zhizh · Journal of Computer Applications · 2013
To solve the selection of multimodal transportation scheme, a multimodal transportation scheme selection model with several software time windows, which considered several time windows in the transportation network, was put forward. And then a Harmony Search( HS) algorithm based on character-encoding was developed. The proposed algorithm adopted a new harmony generation method and a new fine-tuning mode. Finally, numerical examples demonstrate that,compared with greedy algorithm, the HS algorithm can find best transportation scheme with less total cost and less delay time.
