Abstract:
A class of freight vehicle dispatching problem,PDPTW(pickup and delivery problem with time windows),is studied in this paper.The mathematical description of this problem is firstly given and then a hybrid tabu search algorithm,employing FLS(fast local search)to speed the search,is proposed.The hybrid algorithm can reduce the computing time heavily meanwhile having no influence on the solution quality.Finally,two cases with the reality scale and complexity are used to evaluate the hybrid tabu search algorithm.The results indicate that this algorithm is effective and quick enough to solve such freight vehicle dispatching problems.
