Abstract :
This paper defines a generalized distance index which reflects the comprehensive factors or multiple objectives in emergency rescue, and presents an improved model of emergency rescue VRP based on the generalized distance, after this discusses several kinds of algorithms based on ant colony optimization. From the methods, research results would better suit the characteristics and requirements of emergency rescue.
