Cellular automata approach to solving the vehicle routing problem of wholesale trade enterprises considering transport infrastructure

The principal potentiality of using the cellular automata algorithm in optimizing the vehicle routes in the process of products delivery of wholesale trade enterprises was demonstrated in this research. Solution of this problem will contribute to decrease of non-productive resources consumption of enterprises and thus - to increase of their competitiveness. To improve applicability of model it is offered the mechanism of considering the region's transport infrastructure.
