Abstract
In this research, we propose a Foraging_PSO algorithm, relative to the real competitive environment, to apply particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm in dynamic foraging game to solve the vehicle routing problem with time windows (VRPTW). Meanwhile, under the hypothesis of group decision making in a foraging swarm and the hypothesis of each forager also is a predator of the other foragers, through decision selection in this foraging game, an analytical decision process can be obtained to support decision making.
