A modified particle swarm optimization algorithm for a vehicle scheduling problem with soft time windows

Abstract This article constructed a vehicle scheduling problem (VSP) with soft time windows for a certain ore company. VSP is a typical NP-hard problem whose optimal solution can not be obtained in polynomial time, and the basic particle swarm optimization(PSO) algorithm has the obvious shortcoming...
