Abstract

A clustering method based on a genetic algorithm for solving the multi-depot routing problem is proposed. An efficient post optimiser enhanced by reduction tests is embedded into the search to further improve the solutions. Preliminary results, based on a set of problems given in the literature, are encouraging.
