Solving the Multiple Traveling Salesman Problem by a Novel Meta-heuristic Algorithm [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Optimization in Industrial Engineering, 2014
The multiple traveling salesman problem (MTSP) is a generalization of the famous traveling salesman problem (TSP), where more than one salesman is used in the solution.

Application of Metaheuristic Optimisation Methods to the Design of Guided‐Mode Resonance Filters: A Comparative Study

open access: yesIET Optoelectronics, Volume 20, Issue 1, January/December 2026.
In this paper, we have reviewed six distinct metaheuristic optimisation algorithms applicable to challenging problems in electromagnetics and optics. Specifically, we applied each method to the synthesis of GMR narrowband reflection filters and performed a systematic comparative evaluation. ABSTRACT The design of optical elements often requires precise

A one-commodity pickup-and-delivery traveling salesman problem solved by a two-stage method: A sensor relocation application.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2019
In the carrier-based coverage repair problem, a single mobile robot replaces damaged sensors by picking up spare ones in the region of interest or carrying them from a base station in wireless sensor and robot networks.

Heuristic methods using variable neighborhood random local search for the clustered traveling salesman problem

open access: yesRevista Produção Online, 2014
In this paper, we propose new heuristic methods for solver the Clustered Traveling Salesman Problem (CTSP). The CTSP is a generalization of the Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP) in which the set of vertices is partitioned into disjoint clusters and ...

A branch‐and‐cut approach and alternative formulations for the traveling salesman problem with drone

open access: yesNetworks, 2020
In this paper, we are interested in studying the traveling salesman problem with drone (TSP‐D). Given a set of customers and a truck that is equipped with a single drone, the TSP‐D asks that all customers are served exactly once and minimal delivery time

Trajectory Optimisation for UAV Data Collection in IoT‐Based WSN: A Lévy Flight‐Based Approach

open access: yesIET Smart Cities, Volume 8, Issue 1, January/December 2026.
In large‐scale IoT and WSN deployments, data transmission to base stations is often limited by restricted network coverage, and drones can help extend connectivity by collecting data from cluster head nodes. This work proposes an energy‐efficient drone‐assisted data collection approach that jointly optimises system costs and energy consumption, taking ...

Hybrid Algorithm Based on Ant Colony Optimization and Simulated Annealing Applied to the Dynamic Traveling Salesman Problem

open access: yesEntropy, 2020
The dynamic traveling salesman problem (DTSP) falls under the category of combinatorial dynamic optimization problems. The DTSP is composed of a primary TSP sub-problem and a series of TSP iterations; each iteration is created by changing the previous ...

Workload equity in multiperiod vehicle routing problems

open access: yesInternational Transactions in Operational Research, Volume 33, Issue 1, Page 245-267, January 2026.
Abstract An equitable distribution of workload is essential when deploying vehicle routing solutions in practice. For this reason, previous studies have formulated vehicle routing problems with workload‐balance objectives or constraints, leading to trade‐off solutions between routing costs and workload equity.

A New Evolutionary Multiobjective Model for Traveling Salesman Problem

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2019
The traveling salesman problem (TSP) is one of the most classical NP-hard problems in the combinatorial optimization, as many practical problems, such as scheduling problems and vehicle-routing cost allocation problems can be abstracted. The introduction
