A Hybrid Genetic Algorithm for Route Optimization in Multimodal Transport

摘要

Multimodal transport is the effectual means of competition and cooperation in modern logistics system. on the base of analyzing the mathematics model and virtual transport network for route optimization problem in multimodal transport, a hybrid genetic algorithm is presented for solving the route optimization problem in multimodal transport. the design of chromosome coding, genetic operators, restriction controlling method and population diversity controlling method is also proposed. Finally, the effectiveness of the hybrid genetic algorithm is convinced by the computational results of an example.
