Abstract

Periodic vehicle routing problem and its solution algorithms are being deeply studied by scholars, the outputs of them are helpful to solve problems such as time setting for waste household appliances, bulky waste discarded in reality, etc. Through the literatures review of PVRP, it can be seen that PVRP solution is still difficult. Taking the reverse recovery system as an example and aiming at the shortest distance, this paper builds the periodic vehicle routing optimization model which can fully embody the characteristics and requirement of recycling of waste household appliances, designs an improved tabu search algorithm, and develops a program by Matlab to solve the established model. Example analysis shows the validity of the model and algorithm. This work can enrich related theory of PVRP and reverse logistics, and provide reference for government to make decisions of relevant management policies.
