Abstract

W artykule poruszono zagadnienie układania tras pojazdów, znane także w literaturze jako problem wielu komiwojażerów. Zagadnienie to, należące do problemów NP-zupełnych, można łatwo sformułować, jednak znalezienie jego rozwiązania optymalnego jest bardzo trudne. Zaprezentowano możliwość wykorzystania algorytmów ewolucyjnych, które – w przeciwieństwie do klasycznych metod z dużą efektywnością – przeszukują przestrzeń rozwiązań rozpatrywanego zagadnienia.
