Abstract

The tractor-and-trailer vehicle scheduling optimization model was established based on hub-spoke network, and a simulated annealing algorithm based on  heuristic rule was used to solve this model. Comparing with the actual scheduling rules, the proposed method can reduce the task execution time by 19.37%, which proves the validity and practicality of the proposed model and method in solving scheduling optimization problem of tractor and trailer vehicle.
