Abstract

Analysis the general vehicle routing problem (VRP) of distribution in logistics, and the corresponding mathematical model is established. The adaptive hybrid sequences niche artificial fish swarm algorithm (AHSN-AFSA) is introduced, and study on how to apply the algorithm to solve the vehicle routing problem. The concept of ecological niche is also being introduced in order to overcome the shortcoming of traditional artificial fish swarm algorithm to obtain optimal solution. Simulation results show that the new algorithm has solved fast, stable performance and so on.
