Searching Ability

Multi-depots vehicle routing problem (MDVRP) is a kind of NP combination problem which possesses important practical value. In order to overcome PSO’s premature convergence and slow astringe, a Cloud Adaptive Particle Swarm Optimization(CAPSO) is put forward, it uses the randomicity and stable tendentiousness characteristics of cloud model, adopts different inertia weight generating methods in different groups, the searching ability of the algorithm in local and overall situation is balanced effectively. In this paper, the algorithm is used to solve MDVRP, a kind of new particles coding method is constructed and the solution algorithm is developed. The simulation results of example indicate that the algorithm has more search speed and stronger optimization ability than GA and the PSO algorithm.
