Vehicle routing problem with time windows has an important practical significance, but it is NP-Hard problem. In order to solve the problem, an optimization algorithm based on P system is proposed. The encoding of glowworm’s location is considered as evolutionary object and discrete glowworm evolution mechanism and variable neighborhood evolution mechanism are used as sub-algorithms. In this paper, the motion equations and related motion rules of glowworm algorithm are improved to optimize the performance of the algorithm. Meanwhile, in order ...
