Abstract

A multi-depot delivery schedule optimizer includes an iteration controller to initialize scheduling iterations for determining an optimized route schedule for a plurality of demands and a plurality of vehicles, in which at least one of the route schedules includes a first depot as a start location, at least one delivery location, and a second depot as an end location. The multi-depot delivery schedule optimizer further includes a particle handler to define a plurality of particles within a solution space of allowable route schedules, each particle representing an allowable route schedule and represented by a corresponding position within the solution space.
