Abstract

In this paper problems of planning in transportation systems based on Pickup and Delivery Problem with Time Windows (PDPTW) are discussed. The results of two variants of evolutionary algorithms illustrate the pros and cons of using different approaches, and their cooperation in hybrid island model indicates how they can help each other in achieving better solutions. This leads to the general idea of an agent-based cooperative system, in which many different techniques may be used simultaneously, exchanging the obtained solutions. Experimental study of such a system that uses evolutionary algorithms and tabu search concludes the work.
