The abstract follows.
Vehicle routing is a hard and extensively studied combinatorial
optimization problem which has numerous practical applications in
transportation and logistics. In the last two decades several effective
solution methods were proposed for the heuristic solution of the vehicle
routing problem (VRP) and its many variants but most of these methods do
not scale well with respect to the computing time when the size of the
problem grows. We discuss a family of approaches, originated from the
FILO framework, which were explicitly designed to obtain a linear growth
of the computing time making it possible to solve very large instances
with up to one million customers within a very limited computing time.
The next talk in our series will be:
Christian Blum (IIIA-CSIC) | March 26 | CMSA: A Hybrid Metaheuristic for
Combinatorial Optimization
