Abstract
The truck and trailer routing problem (TTRP) has been widely studied under different approaches. This is due to its practical characteristic that makes its research interesting. The TTRP continues to be attractive to developing new evolutionary algorithms. This research details a new estimation of the distribution algorithm coupled with a radial probability function from hydrogen. Continuous values are used in the solution representation, and every value indicates, in a hydrogen atom, the distance between the electron and the core. The key point is to exploit the radial probability distribution to construct offspring and to tackle the drawbacks of the estimation of distribution algorithms. Various instances and numerical experiments are presented to illustrate and validate this novel research. Based on the performance of the proposed scheme, we can make the conclusion that incorporating radial probability distributions helps to improve the estimation of distribution algorithms.
