Popis: Agricultural Routing Planning (ARP), a problem in field logistics, has the objective to minimize the headland distance used by machines when performing agricultural tasks. This study gathers for its datasets the data for several fields obtained from previous research. The Estimation of Distribution Algorithm (EDA) is an algorithm that employs a probabilistic model to produce candidate solutions. This paper extends the EDA to become the Evolutionary EDA that combines a general EDA, a neighborhood search, and an elitism technique. Evolutionary EDA is tested on the optimization of ARP. The experimental results show that Evolutionary EDA can get the same or outperform the solutions generated by previously applied algorithms on ARP problems.
