Hybrid Genetic Algorithms for the Asymmetric Distance-Constrained Vehicle Routing Problem

Algorithm 4

Exchange mutation algorithm.
Input : A chromosome,.
Output: Muted chromosome.
Generate a random number .
if () then do
  Select randomly two different cities except dummy depots, supposecity α” and “city β” in the chromosome.
  “city α” ↔ “city β,” provided that they do not violate the distance constraint.
end if
Return the mutated chromosome
