This paper studies the vehicle routing problem with stochastic demands(VRPSD)
and devises an advanced PSO to solve this problem.By adding the mutation operator to the PSO algorithm in the later phase
the advanced PSO algorithm overcome the basic PSO’s shortcoming of easily plunging into the local optimization.Experimental results indicate that the advanced PSO algorithm can improve the global convergence ability and is superior to basic PSO algorithm and genetic algorithm.
