The purpose of this research is to solve the Close-Open Mixed Vehicle Routing Problem (COMVRP) using Bat Algorithm. COMVRP which is a combination of Close Vehicle Routing Problem or commonly known as Vehicle Routing Problem (VRP) with Open Vehicle Routing Problem (OVRP) is a problem to determine vehicles route in order to minimize total distance to serve customers without exceed vehicle capacity. COMVRP occurs when the company already has private vehicles but its capacity could not fulfill all customer demands so the company must rent several vehicles from other companies to complete the distribution process. In this case, the private vehicle returns to the depot after serving the last customer while the rental vehicle does not need to return. Bat algorithm is an algorithm inspired by the process of finding prey from small bats using echolocation. The implementation program to solve was created using Java programming with NetBeans IDE 8.2 software which was implemented using 3 cases, small data with 18 customers, medium data with 75 customers and large data with 100 customers. Based on the implementation results, it can be concluded that the more iterations, the smaller total costs are obtained, while for the pulse rate and the amount of bat tends not to affect the total cost obtained.

The vehicle routing problem is to determine K vehicle routes, where a route is a tour that begins at the depot, traverses a subset of the customers in a specified sequence and returns to the depot. Each customer must be assigned to exactly one of the K vehicle routes and total size of deliveries for customers assigned to each vehicle must not exceed the vehicle capacity. The routes should be chosen to minimize total travel cost.

We consider the shortest path problem with resource constraints arising as a subproblem in state-of-the-art branch-cut-and-price algorithms for vehicle routing problems. We propose a variant of the bidirectional label-correcting algorithm in which the labels are stored and extended according to the so-called bucket graph. This organization of labels helps to significantly decrease the number of dominance checks and the running time of the algorithm. We also show how the forward/backward route symmetry can be exploited and how to eliminate arcs from the bucket graph using reduced costs. The proposed algorithm can be especially beneficial for vehicle routing instances with large vehicle capacity and/or with time window constraints. Computational experiments were performed on instances from the distance-constrained vehicle routing problem, including multidepot and site-dependent variants, on the vehicle routing problem with time windows, and on the “nightmare” instances of the heterogeneous fleet vehicle routing problem. Significant improvements over the best algorithms in the literature were achieved, and many instances could be solved for the first time.

This research discusses determination of the best route for the goods distribution from one depot to customers in various locations using the Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problem with Time of Windows (CVRPTW) model with a goal programming approach. The goal function of this model are minimize costs, minimize distribution time, maximize vehicle capacity and maximize the number of customers served. We use case study in CV. Oke Jaya companies which has 25 customers and one freight vehicle with 2000 kg capacities to serve the customers in the Serang, Pandeglang, Rangkasbitung and Cikande. For simulation we use software LINGO. Based on this CVRPTW model with a goal programming approach, there are four routes to distribute goods on the CV. Oke Jaya, which considers the customer’s operating hours, with total cost is Rp 233.000,00, the total distribution time is 17 hours 57 minutes and the total capacity of goods distributed is 6150 kg.
