Abstract

The vehicle routing problem is usually resolved with ant colony algorithm nowadays. Many researchers have put forward advanced ant colony algorithm to improve the calculating speed. City express delivery routing and scheduling model is constructed based on the actuality of city express. Different with traditional vehicle routing problem, this model includes two objective functions-minimum cost and highest service level. The constraint of time window is also included in the model. SF express delivery routing and scheduling problem in Chaoyang District, Beijing is resolved based on this model. After comparison and analysis we draw a conclusion that the model is feasible and more practical.
