Abstract

The paper presents simulation optimisation methodology and tools for the vehicle scheduling problem (VSP) with time windows. The optimisation problem statement is given. The fitness landscape analysis is used to evaluate the hardness of the problem. The tool for fitness landscape analysis is build up. To evaluate fitness of solutions the vehicle schedule simulation model in AnyLogic 6 is developed, and Java applications generate landscape path solutions and analyse their fitness series. A genetic algorithm is applied for simulation-based vehicle schedule optimisation. The results of the experimental study are described.
