Abstract

An open vehicle routing problem is studied. In this problem, multi-depot, heterogeneous-vehicle, fuel consumption and start-up costs of vehicles are considered, thus a genetic algorithm is given to solve this hard problem. In order to improve the performance of the genetic algorithm, a heuristic algorithm is provided to produce the initial population and participate in crossover. An example is given to illustrate the genetic algorithm.
