RRNCO提升真实道路路由的神经组合优化能力。

RRNCO: Towards Real-World Routing with Neural Combinatorial Optimization

  • 融合空间坐标与真实距离特征,动态调整节点表示。
  • 首次联合建模距离、时长和方向角,适应复杂路况。
  • 基于100城真实数据构建新基准,推动算法落地应用。

神经组合优化(NCO)在车辆路径问题(VRP)中的实际应用受限于仿真到现实的差距。这不仅源于在简化欧氏数据上训练,也因现有节点架构无法处理包含相关非对称成本矩阵的节点与边特征,如真实世界的路程与时间。本文提出RRNCO,一种专为应对这些复杂性设计的新架构。其核心创新包括:自适应节点嵌入(ANE),通过学习的上下文门控机制高效融合空间坐标与真实距离特征;以及首个联合建模非对称距离、时长与方向角的神经自适应偏置(NAB)机制,可捕捉复杂真实的路径约束。此外,本文构建了一个基于真实世界数据的新VRP基准,涵盖100个不同城市的非对称路程与时间矩阵,支持更贴近实际场景的NCO求解器训练与验证。实验表明,RRNCO在此基准上达到当前最优性能,显著提升了神经求解器在实际物流中的适用性。代码、数据集与预训练模型已开源。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

The practical deployment of Neural Combinatorial Optimization (NCO) for Vehicle Routing Problems (VRPs) is hindered by a critical sim-to-real gap. This gap stems not only from training on oversimplified Euclidean data but also from node-based architectures incapable of handling the node-and-edge-based features with correlated asymmetric cost matrices, such as those for real-world distance and duration. We introduce RRNCO, a novel architecture specifically designed to address these complexities. RRNCO's novelty lies in two key innovations. First, its Adaptive Node Embedding (ANE) efficiently fuses spatial coordinates with real-world distance features using a learned contextual gating mechanism. Second, its Neural Adaptive Bias (NAB) is the first mechanism to jointly model asymmetric distance, duration, and directional angles, enabling it to capture complex, realistic routing constraints. Moreover, we introduce a new VRP benchmark grounded in real-world data crucial for bridging this sim-to-real gap, featuring asymmetric distance and duration matrices from 100 diverse cities, enabling the training and validation of NCO solvers on tasks that are more representative of practical settings. Experiments demonstrate that RRNCO achieves state-of-the-art performance on this benchmark, significantly advancing the practical applicability of neural solvers for real-world logistics.
