A solver for the Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problem (CVRP)

This package provides a simple Python wrapper for the Hybrid Genetic Search solver for Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problems (HGS-CVRP).

The installation requires gcc, make, and cmake to build. On Windows, for example, you can install them by scoop install gcc make cmake using Scoop. Then, install the PyHygese package:

pip install hygese

CVRP Example (random)

import numpy as np 
import hygese as hgs

n = 20
x = (np.random.rand(n) * 1000)
y = (np.random.rand(n) * 1000)

# Solver initialization
ap = hgs.AlgorithmParameters(timeLimit=3.2)  # seconds
hgs_solver = hgs.Solver(parameters=ap, verbose=True)

# data preparation
data = dict()
data['x_coordinates'] = x
data['y_coordinates'] = y

# You may also supply distance_matrix instead of coordinates, or in addition to coordinates
# If you supply distance_matrix, it will be used for cost calculation.
# The additional coordinates will be helpful in speeding up the algorithm.
# data['distance_matrix'] = dist_mtx

data['service_times'] = np.zeros(n)
demands = np.ones(n)
demands[0] = 0 # depot demand = 0
data['demands'] = demands
data['vehicle_capacity'] = np.ceil(n/3).astype(int)
data['num_vehicles'] = 3
data['depot'] = 0

result = hgs_solver.solve_cvrp(data)
print(result.cost)
print(result.routes)

NOTE: The result.routes above does not include the depot. All vehicles start from the depot and return to the depot.

Algorithm Parameters

Configurable algorithm parameters are defined in the AlgorithmParameters dataclass with default values:

@dataclass
class AlgorithmParameters:
    nbGranular: int = 20
    mu: int = 25
    lambda_: int = 40
    nbElite: int = 4
    nbClose: int = 5
    targetFeasible: float = 0.2
    seed: int = 1
    nbIter: int = 20000
    timeLimit: float = 0.0
    useSwapStar: bool = True
