Abstract

To solve the bottlenecks effect of a material distributing system, a model of multi-vehicles and multi-routes transportation net and its describing were proposed. According to the characteristics of the distributing system, an intelligent ant algorithm was used to optimize the route of the transportation net, and the optimization algorithm and computation steps were given. Finally, experiments were given to verify the algorithm. The experiment results illustrate that the method can be used to solve the route optimization and dispatching problem of the transportation system, and improve the efficiency of material input and output from the warehouse.
