Abstract

An effective meta-heuristic algorithm for a capacitated vehicle routing problem (CVRP) is studied. In this paper, we proposed the artificial bee colony (ABC) algorithm combined with simulated annealing (SA), and applied the algorithm to a simple CVRP model. We show the advantage of the proposed algorithm through some numerical experiments.
