Abstract The dynamic travelling salesman problem (DTSP) is a natural extension of the standard travelling salesman problem, and it has attracted significant interest in recent years due to is practical applications. In this article, we propose an efficient solution for DTSP, based on a genetic algorithm (GA), and on the one-by-one revision of two sides (GORTS). More specifically, GORTS combines the global search ability of GA with the fast convergence feature of the method of one-by-one revision of two sides, in order to find the optimal solution in a short time. An experimental platform was designed to evaluate the performance of GORTS with TSPLIB. The experimental results show that the efficiency of GORTS compares favourably against other popular heuristic algorithms for DTSP. In particular, a prototype logistics system based on GORTS for a supermarket with an online map was designed and implemented. It was shown that this can provide optimised goods distribution routes for delivery staff, while considering real-time traffic information.

Multiple Travelling Salesman Problem

The multiple travelling salesman problem (MTSP), an extension of the well-known travelling salesman problem (TSP), is studied here. In MTSP, starting from a depot, multiple salesmen require to visit all cities so that each city is required to be visited only once by one salesman only. It is NP-hard and is more complex than the usual TSP. So, exact optimal solutions can be obtained for smaller sized problem instances only. For large-sized problem instances, it is essential to apply heuristic algorithms, and amongst them, genetic algorithm is identified to be successfully deal with such complex optimization problems. So, we propose a hybrid genetic algorithm (HGA) that uses sequential constructive crossover, a local search approach along with an immigration technique to find high-quality solution to the MTSP. Then our proposed HGA is compared against some state-of-the-art algorithms by solving some TSPLIB symmetric instances of several sizes with various number of salesmen. Our experimental investigation demonstrates that the HGA is one of the best algorithms.

Multiple Travelling Salesman Problem

The multiple travelling salesman problem (MTSP) is one of the widely studied combinatorial optimization problems with various theoretical and practical applications. However, most of the studies intended to deal with classical MTSP, very limited attention has been given to an open multiple travelling salesman problem and its variants. In this paper, an open multiple travelling salesman problem with load balancing constraint (OMTSPLB) is addressed. The OMTSPLB differs from the conventional MTSP, in which all the salesmen start from the central depot and need not come back to it after visiting the given number of cities by accomplishing the load balance constraint, which helps in fairly distributing the task among all salesmen. The problem aims to minimize the overall traversal distance/cost for operating open tours subject to the load balancing constraint. A zero-one integer linear programming (0-1 ILP) model and an efficient metaheuristic genetic algorithm (GA), is established for the OMTSPLB. Since no existing study on OMTSPLB, the proposed GA is tested on the relaxed version of the present model, comparative results are reported. The comparative results show that the proposed GA is competent over the existing algorithms. Furthermore, extensive experiments are carried out on OMTSPLB and the results show that proposed GA can find the global solution effectively.

The Traveling Salesman Problem

The traveling salesman problem is analyzed with genetic algorithms. The best route map and tendency of optimal grade of 500 cities before the first mutation, best route map after 15 times of mutation and tendency of optimal grade of the final mutation are displayed with algorithm animation. The optimal grade is about 0.0455266 for the best route map before the first mutation, but is raised to about 0.058241 for the 15 times of mutation. It shows that through the improvements of algorithms and coding methods, the efficiency to solve the traveling problem can be raised with genetic algorithms.

Abstract. Determining routes for ice tube delivery in Malang is a complex combinatorial problem classified as NP-hard problem. This study aims for optimizing the sales travel routes determination for the delivery to several customers by considering the efficiency of distance traveled. This problem is modeled in the form of Multi Salesman Traveling Problem. Genetic algorithm was used to optimize the determination of ice tube delivery routes that must be taken by each sales. Problems were coded by using permutation representation in which order crossover and swap mutation methods were used for the reproduction process. The process of finding solution was done by using elitism selection. The best genetic algorithm parameters obtained from the test results are the number of iterations of 40 and the population of 40, with the shortest route of 30.3 km. The final solution given by the genetic algorithm is in the form of a travel route that must be taken by each ice tube sales.Keywords: genetic algorithm, mutli travelling salesman problem, optimization, routeAbstrak.
