A PROPOSED SOLUTION FOR AIRPORT TO HOTELS TOURIST DISTRIBUTION PROBLEM USING MONOTYPE VEHICLES AND THE CASE OF ALANYA

Abstract

In this study, by investigating the airport to hotels tourist distribution applications of a tourism travel agent operating in Alanya region, better distribution plans are obtained. Despite the use of four types of vehicles with capacities 46, 25, 22, 14 at the agent application, better plans are reached in this study by using monotype vehicles. As an alternative to the distribution plan implemented by the agency, a solution with classical Vehicle Routing Problem approach is proposed. At the solution approach, on the assumption that there is an unlimited number of vehicles with 46 capacities and that supplying them is easier than other types, only 46-seater vehicle type is used. Three different solution approaches are proposed for the classical Vehicle Routing Problem approach, these are Savings Algorithm, Sweep Algorithm and Random Search Approach. For the Random Search Approach, a population space with 500 individuals is generated. The population is mainly composed of three parts which are an individual from Savings Algorithm, an individual from Sweep Algorithm and all the rest individuals generated randomly. As a result of the research, cost savings as negative for the first problem and positive for the others are obtained both with the Savings and Sweep Algorithms. At least zero percent and at most 28.76% cost reduction in transportation plans are obtained by using Random Search Approach that gives better results.
