摘要
Ant colony optimization (ACO) is a metaheuristic for combinatorial optimization problems. In this paper we report on its successful application to the vehicle routing problem (VRP). First, we introduce the VRP and some of its variants, such as the VRP with time windows, the time dependent VRP, the VRP with pickup and delivery, and the dynamic VRP. These variants have been formulated in order to bring the VRP closer to the kind of situations encountered in the real-world.
