Abstract:

To improve the collaborative delivering efficiency of two-echelon unmanned vehicles in closed and open scenes, the delivery network is designed and two-echelon unmanned vehicle routing optimization model is established considering different methods to transport goods between two-echelon unmanned vehicles. Regarding model solving, the improved variable neighborhood search algorithm is designed. In this algorithm, multiple neighborhood search operators are designed, the strategy where the greedy algorithm is used to keep some infeasible solutions into the offspring population and the adaptive strategy are proposed to adjust the process of iterative optimization. Multiple sets of instance experiments show that the proposed algorithm and algorithm strategies can improve the efficiency of problem-solving. This research achievements provide a reference for two-echelon unmanned vehicle delivery routing optimization scheme in closed and open scenes.

Key words: closed and open scenes, unmanned vehicles delivery, two-echelon delivery network, routing optimization model, variable neighborhood search algorithm
