This paper investigates how the standard Bat Algorithm must be extended to become a HBA being able to solve the CVRP. The Hybrid Bat Algorithm is tested and compared to three other optimization algorithms for the CVRP, the Clarke & Wright Savings Algorithm, the Holmes and Parker Algorithm, and the Fisher and Jaikumar Method. It is discussed how the HBA is able to deliver decent solutions of the CVRP.en330 - WirtschaftA new hybrid bat algorithm optimizing the capacitated vehicle routing problem04B - Beitrag Konferenzschrift107–111
