Background technology
A large amount of logistics vehicles scheduling problems can be summed up as many parking lots vehicle routing problem with time windows (Multi Depot Vehicle Routing Problem with Time Windows in the reality, MDVRPTW): logistics vehicles is at first respectively at the parking lot on a plurality of different physical location, they need to send to client with the goods of specified quantity with minimum path cost in the time range that requires, and return the parking lot at last.
Although the practical application of MDVRPTW is very extensive, this problem not yet is well solved in theory research." many parking lots " and " time window " make the difficulty that has originally possessed stack with regard to the problem solving with NP complicacy respectively in the double constraints that applies aspect the room and time of problem, are still waiting to improve for the solution efficiency of extensive problem.
MDVRPTW is still one of problems of furtheing investigate that do not obtain few in number in the Vehicle Routing Problems set.Logistics decision maker in the reality to such problem usually adopt " centered by the parking lot to client's subregion and the district in programme path " this empirical way, the science of route planning and validity all be difficult to the guarantee.MDVRPTW comprises the characteristic of many Depot Vehicle Routing Problems (MDVRP) and this two classes subproblem of band time window Vehicle Routing Problems (VRPTW), but since MDVRP and VRPTW institute respectively the constraint of this two aspect of room and time of concern have the conflicting characteristic of finding the solution, so that after being combined as a new problem, being used for solving former problematic heuristic thought, they are difficult to be reused.
The algorithm of current solution MDVRPTW comprises tabu search algorithm, genetic algorithm, change neighborhood search algorithm, particle cluster algorithm and simulated annealing etc. mainly take meta-heuristic as main.And these meta-heuristic algorithms all can run in problem solving process and be absorbed in too early local optimum, i.e. the situation of Premature Convergence, and this also is the large common fault that the meta-heuristic algorithm is being found the solution MDVRPTW.Usually more empirical parameter need to be set in the meta-heuristic algorithm simultaneously, and these parameters often need to arrange according to concrete problem, do not possess stronger versatility.Thereby how reducing possibility and choosing of correlation parameter that algorithm is absorbed in local optimum all is the difficulties of meta-heuristic algorithm research.
Summary of the invention
The purpose of this invention is to provide a kind of change neighborhood search algorithm of finding the solution many parking lots band time window Vehicle Routing Problems.
The objective of the invention is to realize in the following manner, step is as follows:
(1) many parking lots band time window Vehicle Routing Problems has vehicle load, the restriction of long running time of service time window and vehicle, in may the arranging of all customer's locations, what the overwhelming majority was corresponding all is infeasible solution, many algorithms are when the Vehicle Routing Problems of finding the solution with constraint conditions such as load or time windows, usually in solution procedure, all only keep feasible solution, and infeasible solution is given up, but it should be noted that, in these infeasible solutions, the infeasible solution that might have minority, namely through trying to achieve the feasible solution of better quality after the iterative process of certain number of times, Given this, this algorithm model allows the existence of infeasible solution in solution procedure, so that algorithm has more wide search volume, and then increase the possibility that algorithm is tried to achieve more excellent solution;
In this algorithm model, the result appraisal function representation is f( x)= c( x)+ α q( x)+ β d( x)+ γ w( x), wherein α, β, γBe penalty factor, and α0, β0, γ0.For solution x, order c( x) expression gross vehicle operating range or time, the order q( x) expression gross vehicle load-carrying violation amount, the order d( x) expression gross vehicle running time violation amount, the order w( x) the time window violation amount of expression gross vehicle, calculating vehicle through individual paths RRunning time violation amount the time, this paper has introduced the concept of the lax Forward Time Slack of forward time that is proposed by Savelsbergh, is used for running time violation amount is optimized accordingly;
