Abstract

In recent years, modern logistics industry is a rapidly emerging industry, a new economic growth point, transportation is an important element of modern logistics, it can reduce transportation costs, and improve economic efficiency if the arrangements of transport vehicles are reasonable. Vehicle routing problem is a class of typical combinatorial optimization problems and is known for its physical transportation vehicle scheduling, which is proved to be a NP-Hard problem. in this paper, to improve the traditional genetic algorithm, and prevent the new individual of invalid solutions by crossing, it proposed a new method of cross-parents, making the solution process is always carried out in the effective solution set, eventually achieve the optimal route of transport vehicles.
