Abstract

This paper develops a novel bacterial foraging optimization with adaptive chemotaxis step to solve Vehicle Routing Problem with Time Windows (VRPTW). A non-linearly decreasing exponential modulation model is proposed to improve the efficient of the Bacterial Foraging Optimization algorithm for solving Vehicle Routing Problem with Time Windows (VRPTW). Compared with three other BFO algorithms, the proposed algorithm is superior and confirms its potential to solve Vehicle Routing Problem with Time Windows (VRPTW).
