Tabu Search Algorithm for Solving the Vehicle Routing Problem

We start with the background and the solutions of vehicle routing problem, and then focus on the interpretation of Tabu search algorithm and the impact of its key factors. In particular, the idea of tabu search algorithm is applied to solve the vehicle routing problem. We design a new intuitive and easy to understand client-direct-arrangement solution method, and finally realize the algorithm through C language. The experimental results show that the algorithm is feasible and have high quality solutions.
