Abstract

The capacitated arc routing problem (CARP) has important research significance in the area of vehicle routing services. We study a multi-depot green capacitated arc routing problem by minimizing economic cost, makespan and carbon emission cost, and then, present a modified memetic algorithm for multi-depot (MMAMD) that aims to solve the problem efficiently. According to the characteristics of multi-depots in this paper, a specific encoding scheme via the two-dimensional array and the dynamic adjustment strategy of boundary arcs between depots are proposed. By combining ant colony algorithm with local search, we present an ant colony local search strategy with extended neighborhood search for the memetic algorithm. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm which is used to solve the model is effective, which can provide a reference for waste clearing decision.
