Objectives: The Multiple Travelling Salesman problem is a complex combinatorial optimization problem which is a variance of the Traveling Salesman Problem,where a lot of salesmen are utilized in the solution. In this work a cold chain logistics and route optimization model with minimum transport cost, carbon cost and Refrigeration cost are constructed. Methods: A genetic algorithm is then proposed to solve for the Multiple Travelling Salesman Problem with time windows while transport cost, carbon emission cost and refrigeration cost is minimized. Findings: It was observed that the algorithm evolved towards the direction of the optimal value of the fitness function. Novelty: There are a number of studies that considered tournament selection strategy but just a few have applied genetic algorithm considering insertion method to solve a Multiple Travelling salesman Problem. This study uses insertion method to obtain optimal solution. Also, the researcher considered time windows, transport cost, carbon emission cost and refrigeration cost. Keywords: Genetic algorithm method; cold-logistics; multiple travelling 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.

Divisi pemasaran STMIK El Rahma memiliki permasalahan dengan penjadwalan rute kunjungan ketika harus melakukan perjalanan multi destinasi ke sekolah-sekolah untuk melakukan promosi. Perjalanan multi destinasi dengan mempertimbangkan waktu kunjungan merupakan permasalahan Travelling Salesman Problem with Time Windows (TSP-TW). Algoritma Genetika merupakan salah satu metode pencarian yang dapat digunakan untuk memberikan rute perjalanan yang optimal. Rekomendasi yang diberikan tidak hanya mempertimbangkan jarak tetapi juga waktu tempuh didapatkan menggunakan Google Maps API. Skenario pengujian yang dilakukan adalah pengujian banyak generasi optimal, pengujian banyak populasi optimal, pengujian kombinasi probabilitas crossover (Pc) dan proabilitas mutasi (Pm), serta pengujian konsistensi solusi yang dihasilkan Algoritma Genetika. Hasil pengujian menunjukan bahwa jumlah individu terbaik adalah 150 individu dalam satu populasi. Kriteria berhenti jika setelah 127 generasi berturut-turut didapatkan nilai fitness tertinggi yang tidak berubah dan kombinasi probabilitas crossover dan probabilitas mutasi yang paling optimal adalah {0.3 : 0.7}.

Abstract. The Travelling Salesman Problem (TSP) is a classical problem in combinatorial optimization that consists of finding the shortest tour through all cities such that the salesman visits each city only one time and returns to the starting city. Genetic algorithm is one of the powerful ways to solve problems of traveling salesman problem TSP. The current genetic algorithm aims to take in consideration the constraints happening during the execution of genetic algorithm, such as traffic jams when solving TSP. This program has two important contributions. First one is proposing simple method into taking in consideration an inconvenient route linked to traffic jams. The second one is the use of closeness strategy during the initialization step, which can accelerate the execution time of the algorithm.The results of the experiments show that the improved algorithm works better than some other algorithms. The conclusion ends the analysis with recommendations and future works.

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.

This paper proposes a method of rapidly finding a feasible solution to the asymmetric traveling salesman problem with time windows (ATSP-TW). ATSP-TW is a problem that involves determining the route with the minimum travel cost for visiting n cities one time each with time window constraints (the period of time in which the city must be visited is constrained). “Asymmetrical” denotes a difference between the cost of outbound and return trips. For such a combinatorial optimization problem with constraints, we propose a method that combines a pre-process based on the insertion method with metaheuristics called “the compressed annealing approach.” In an experiment using a 3-GHz computer, our method derives a feasible solution that satisfies the time window constraints for all of up to about 300 cities at an average of about 1/7 the computing time of existing methods, an average computing time of 0.57 seconds, and a maximum computing time of 9.40 seconds.

The Prize Collecting Traveling Salesman Problem (PCTSP) represents a generalization of the well-known Traveling Salesman Problem. The PCTSP can be associated with a salesman that collects a prize in each visited city and pays a penalty for each unvisited city, with travel costs among the cities. The objective is to minimize the sum of the costs of the tour and penalties, while collecting a minimum amount of prize. This paper suggests MIP-based heuristics and a branch-and-cut algorithm to solve the PCTSP. Experiments were conducted with instances of the literature, and the results of our methods turned out to be quite satisfactory.

The Travelling Salesman problem is considered as a binary integer problem. For this problem, several stop variables and subtours are discussed. The stops are generated and the distance between those stops are found, consequently the graphs are drawn. Further the variables are declared and the constraints are framed. Then the initial problem is visualised along with the subtour constraints in order to achieve the required output.

Population size of classical genetic algorithm is determined constantly. Its size remains constant over the run. For more complex problems, larger population sizes need to be avoided from early convergence to produce local optimum. Objective of this research is to evaluate population resizing i.e. dynamic population sizing for Genetic Algorithm (GA) using cloning strategy. We compare performance of proposed method and traditional GA employed to Travelling Salesman Problem (TSP) of A280.tsp taken from TSPLIB. Result shown that GA with dynamic population size exceed computational time of traditional GA.

PT XYZ as the best and largest Bed Sheet Set company in Indonesia with products such as Bed Covers, Bed Sheets, Pillowcases, Bolsters and Blankets. The Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP) is a problem faced in finding the best route to visit shops that sell products from PT BIG. A visit to the shop is carried out on the condition that each city can only be visited once except the city of origin. The algorithms applied in this TSP problem include the Complete Enumeration, Branch & Bound and Greedy Heuristic methods.
