摘要

The vehicle routing problem with multi-type and multi-cost is studied in this paper. The fact of different vehicle types associated with different capacities and costs are considered An optimal model minimized the total cost and restricted the operation process is achieved A heuristic procedure applied to genetic algorithm was also proposed. Finally, the developed model and algorithm were successfully tested with the help of a numerical example.
