- Abstract
In this work we have evaluated several algorithms based on genetic metaheuristics applied to the route management of self-propelled forage harvesters. The objective is to minimize the travel distance of forage harvesters, because her limited trafficability, and thus reduce downtime. We started with a classical genetic algorithm and we have made changes to the methodology of the initial population generation and the crossing process. Previously we have analyzed the input parameter settings searching the combination that provides the best results. The results obtained were compared with the actual paths performed by the harvesters, for a period of three weeks. The results obtained shown that the number of plots considered has a great weight in the savings obtained with the use of these tools. Better results were obtained with the algorithm called PG, but in weekly scheduling, differences with the CG version were not significant. The use of genetic algorithms has enabled to get savings in terms of time and money.
