Cement Transport Vehicle Routing with a Hybrid Sine Cosine Optimization Algorithm by Vu Hong Son Pham, Van Nam Nguyen

“…To demonstrate the advantages of the developed hybrid sine cosine algorithm, this algorithm is evaluated and compared with modern algorithms such as sine cosine algorithm, dragonfly algorithm, grey wolf optimizer, ant lion optimizer, particle swarm optimization, modified hybrid particle swarm optimization, genetic algorithm, and the double-population genetic algorithm in case studies. The hybrid sine cos algorithm gives optimal results in these cases because it balances mining and exploration. …”
