Efficient implementation of the genetic algorithm to solve rich vehicle routing problems

TL;DR: A Genetic Algorithm (GA)-based approach is proposed to tackle the rich vehicle routing problem (RVRP), which is a well-known combinatorial optimization problem arising in many transportation and logistics settings and shows good cost-effectiveness.

Optimization of Water Quality Monitoring Networks Using Metaheuristic Approaches: Moscow Region Use Case

TL;DR: The paper offers and tests metaheuristic approaches for optimization of monitoring procedure and multi-factors assessment of water quality in “New Moscow” area and shows that the proposed algorithms dramatically decrease the total cost of analysis without dampening the quality of monitoring and could be recommended for optimization purposes.

Iterated local search

TL;DR: Iterated Local Search (ILS) as mentioned in this paper is a general purpose metaheuristic for finding good solutions of combinatorial optimization problems, which is based on building a sequence of (locally optimal) solutions by perturbing the current solution and applying local search to that modified solution.
