Abstract:
Waste disposal facilities are kinds of typical "semi-desirable facilities". Some incompatible objectives such as cost and obnoxious effect etc. should be considered in the process of location and other related decisions of these facilities. The location-routing problem in waste logistics network in cities is one kind of typical periodic location routing problem (PLRP), for different population centers can be visited by different frequency in certain period, however, the multi-objective optimization of this problem is short of research. A multi-objective PLRP is studied in this paper, which combines the practical situation of waste logistics network in cities. A new method is proposed measuring negative effect based on the concept of dispersion distance; a mixed integer programming model concerning two objectives of average total cost and average negative effect is raised; a multi-objective evolutionary algorithm is devised to solve location-allocation problem, visiting scheduling problem and vehicle routing problem simultaneously. The global algorithm strengthens an extension local search deepening the search of feasible collection and transportation plans; a sub-algorithm termed DRECW-LS which strengthens the diversification, randomization and local search based on ECWA solves the periodic location-routing problem. The computing example shows: the algorithm can solve analogous large size problems and shows excellent quality and computing efficiency.
