Dynamic vehicle path planning using an enhanced simulated annealing approach for supply chains

Dynamic vehicle path planning using an enhanced simulated annealing approach for supply chains Evolutionary computation is an effective tool for solving optimisation problems. However, its significant computational demand has limited its real-time and online applications, e.g., mobile vehicles in supply chains. An enhanced SA approach incorporating with initial path selection heuristics and multiple mathematical operators is proposed in this paper for vehicle path planning in dynamic supply chain environments. It requires less computation times while giving better trade-offs among simplicity, far-field accuracy, and computational cost. The enhanced SA is analysed in several environments. The evaluation results demonstrate the ESA approach has the best performance for vehicle path planning in dynamic supply chains. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png International Journal of Enterprise Network Management Inderscience Publishers

Abstract

Evolutionary computation is an effective tool for solving optimisation problems. However, its significant computational demand has limited its real-time and online applications, e.g., mobile vehicles in supply chains. An enhanced SA approach incorporating with initial path selection heuristics and multiple mathematical operators is proposed in this paper for vehicle path planning in dynamic supply chain environments. It requires less computation times while giving better trade-offs among simplicity, far-field accuracy, and computational cost. The enhanced SA is analysed in several environments. The evaluation results demonstrate the ESA approach has the best performance for vehicle path planning in dynamic supply chains.
