Abstract

The Vehicle Routing Problem (VRP) has been largely studied over the last years, since problems involving the transport of persons and/or goods have great practical application. This paper addresses the Vehicles Routing Problem with Demand Responsive Transport (VRPDRT), a type of transport which enables customers to be taken to your destination like a taxi or minibus in order to reduce operating costs and to meet customer needs. A multiobjective approach is proposed to VRPDRT in which five different objective functions are used. Using an iterative methodology, known as aggregation tree, the objective functions are used to construct a bi-objective version for the problem. The proposed bi-objective optimization problem is solved via NSGA-II and SPEA2 and the algorithm performances are compared using S-Metric. Through a statistical test, the results shows with 95% of confidence that the NSGA-II presents better convergence when compared with SPEA2.
