New algorithm tackles large-scale itinerary planning challenges

Researchers have developed a new multi-objective cooperative coevolutionary algorithm designed to tackle large-scale itinerary planning problems. This approach analyzes inter-component dependencies to establish conditions for weak decomposability, enabling optimal paths that visit clusters as contiguous subpaths. The algorithm incorporates a dynamic decomposition strategy, considers optimization potential based on component scale and contribution, and employs a computational resource allocation strategy. Evaluations on 34 real-world and benchmark test cases demonstrated that the proposed algorithm achieved the highest mean hypervolume and significantly outperformed existing methods, particularly on large-scale instances.

IMPACT This research could lead to more efficient route optimization in logistics and travel planning applications.

    Decomposability-Guided Cooperative Coevolution for Large-Scale Itinerary Planning

    arXiv:2506.06121v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Large-scale itinerary planning is a variant of the traveling salesman problem, aiming to determine an optimal path that maximizes the collected point-of-interest (POI) scores while minimizing travel time and cost, subject to tra…
