Abstract

In this chapter, a hybrid meta-heuristic algorithm is proposed, which is based on simulated annealing in order to solve the Vehicle Routing Problem (VRP) with stochastic demands. The proposed algorithm has several annealing phases, which are named Simulated Multi-annealing (SMA). This algorithm is combined with the Clarke and Wright saving algorithm (CW). This last algorithm was placed inside the Metropolis Cycle of Simulated Multi-annealing algorithm. The hybrid algorithm is applied to obtain optimal routes for a cleaning distribution company. The initial solution of VRP is generated by the CW Algorithm, and it was improved by the multi-annealing phases. The solutions into the metropolis cycle were generated by a solution perturbation approach, each solution was compared with a previous one in order to obtain an optimal one.
