Abstract

AbstractIn this paper, a novel hybrid natural computing approach, called PGQ, combining Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), Genetic Algorithm (GA) and quantum computation, is introduced to solve the Vehicle Routing Problem (VRP). We propose a quantum approach, called QUP, to update the particles in PSO. And, we add GA operators to improve population quality. The simulation results show that the PGQ algorithm is very effective, and is better than simple PSO and GA, as well as PSO and GA mixed algorithm.KeywordsVRPPSOGAQuantum computation
