Abstract

The Capacitated Arc Routing Problem (CARP) is a NPHard routing problem with strong connections with real world problems. In this work we aim to enhance the performance of MAENS, a stateof- the-art algorithm, through a self-adaptive scheme to choose the most suitable operator and a diversity-driven ranking operator. Experimental results on 181 problem instances show how these techniques can both improve the results of the current state-of-the-art algorithms and provide good directions to develop EAs with a more robust approximation ratio. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2014
