摘要: In this paper we consider a real life waste collection problem that can be seen as variant of the vehicle routing with time windows. there is set clients to served, number facilities where collected must disposed off and an infinite vehicles stationed in single depot. Each client has definite window within which it served. disposal facility also used given window. Similarly, associated depot, return it. Additionally, fixed lunch period for drivers. Our goal solve using minimum minimizing total distance crossed by vehicles. paper, Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) algorithm. Experimental results indicate our algorithm provides better than previous algorithms.
