Hi all, I work in a municipality that is looking to optimize their meter reader routes (water meters). Does anyone have any experience in this and would know if MATLAB would be a good program to use for this function? Does the MATLAB software include the TSP_GA or nearest neighbor toolbox or are these an additional purchase? Or the Global Optimization toolbox?
O wrote a GA years ago on Fortran for as TSP problem, but thought MATLAB might be easier. Our system has 7-9 meter readers and approx. 100,00 services connections.
Thank you so much for any insight you might be able to provide.
