Abstract

In Multi Depots Vehicle Routing Problem(MDVRP), the trucks deliver their items to the multiple customers near their depots. When the stocks of the depots are shortage, they need to bring the items from other depots or some warehouses. If the depots are far from the other depots, the truck cannot deliver all items like MDVRP because of the limitation of the truck working time. Nevertheless, the trucks should load some items in which destinations are near their depots to deliver the items instead of the other trucks. The trucks optimally relay their items to the other trucks in order to prevent them from working outstanding and the small amount of their cargo. Thus, we needed the method to get an efficient route. In this study, we propose a cost function to calculate efficiently the delivery cost between the multiple depots.
