Abstract

This study focuses on the capacitated location-routing problem (CLRP), which is a combination of capacitated facility location problem and capacitated vehicle routing problem. We propose a novel ap...

Highlights

  • Capacitated location-routing problem (CLRP) is a conjunction of two combinatorial optimization problems namely facility location problem (FLP) and vehicle routing problem (VRP)

  • This study focuses on the capacitated location-routing problem (CLRP), which is a combination of capacitated facility location problem and capacitated vehicle routing problem

  • The proposed approach consists of unique assignment techniques of the customers to the opened depots and a tri-fold particle swarm optimization (PSO) based searching strategy which combines the influence of both hierarchical and iterative techniques in order to find near optimal solutions to a CLRP
