Improving inbound logistic planning for large-scale real-world routing problems: a novel ant-colony simulation-based optimization

Abstract This paper presents the first results of an agent-based model aimed at solving a Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problem (CVRP) for inbound logistics using a novel Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) algorithm, developed and implemented in the NetLogo multi-agent modelling environment. The proposed m...
