Supermarket home deliveries: an optimisation demo. | |||
| A supermarket uses a fleet
of vans to deliver goods to customers. We
wish to plan our deliveries to minimise the number of vans required,
minimise the mileage travelled and minimise the CO2 produced by the
deliveries.
The demo below shows how
this problem can be tacked using a Multi-Objective Evolutionary
Algorithm. Setup your problem by making selections from the top of the
page, click solve to start running the algorithm on Google App Engine
which will send details of the best solution found so far and display
them to the right of the map. Click stop to see the latest solution in
detail, if you're not satisfied with it you can resume searching. | |||
