Abstract

Travelling Salesman Problem (TSP) is a problem in which the shortest possible route enabling a salesman to return to the starting point after visiting all the cities exactly once is determined. Travelling Salesman Problem is the basis for many problems ranging from vehicle routing to printed circuit boards assembly. This problem has been attracting great attention from researchers in the field of optimization; nevertheless it is difficult to solve TSP, especially for large-scale data sets. This paper presents a hybrid solution method based on Fluid Genetic Algorithm, Nearest Neighbor and 2-Opt methods for the solution of TSP. The performance of the proposed method is evaluated with the solution values of the Nearest Neighbor, Genetic Algorithm, Tabu Search, Ant Colony Optimization and the Tree Physiology Optimization algorithms in the literature. The solution results show the superiority of the proposed method in terms of solution time and quality.

Özet

Gezgin Satıcı Problemi (GSP), bir satıcının bütün şehirleri sadece bir defa ziyaret ederek başlangıç noktasına dönmesini sağlayan en kısa rotanın belirlendiği problemdir. GSP, araç rotalamadan baskılı devre kartı montajına kadar birçok problemin temelini oluşturur. Bu problem, optimizasyon alanında çalışan kişilerden büyük ilgi görmüştür, ancak özellikle büyük ölçekli veri kümeleri için çözülmesi zordur. Bu çalışmada, GSP’nin çözümü için Akışkan Genetik Algoritma, En Yakın Komşu ve 2-Opt sezgiselleri üzerine kurulu melez bir yöntem sunulmaktadır. Önerilen yöntemin performansı literatürde bulunan En Yakın Komşu, Genetik Algoritma, Tabu Arama, Karınca Kolonisi Optimizasyonu ve Ağaç Fizyolojisi Optimizasyon algoritmaları kullanılarak elde edilen çözüm değerleri ile kıyaslanmıştır. Önerilen yöntemin sonuçları çözüm süresi ve kalitesi bakımından üstünlük göstermektedir.
