Abstract

This paper discusses a new way to solve the vehicles routing problems of logistics distribution with the use of TSA (Tabu Search Algorithm). TSA is used to calculate the cost of the dealer or the company of all filiale, which is based on the actuality that there are distribution tasks among filiale (or distribution centers) in the cooperative distribution. A new way here is established considering the distribution among filiale to aim at cost and most load. With an example in this paper, the optimal solution is obtained using the special way of Tabu Search Algorithm.
