Descrição
Resumo:In this paper a Memetic Algorithm (MA) is proposed for solving the Vehicles Routing Problem with Time Windows (VRPTW) multi-objective, using a constraint satisfaction heuristic that allows pruning of the search space to direct a search towards good solutions that represent the individuals of the population. An evolutionary heuristic is applied in order to establish the crossover and mutation between sub-routes. The results of MA demonstrate that the use of Constraints Satisfaction Technique permits MA to work more efficiently in the VRPTW.
