<![CDATA[Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problem (CVRP) is a type of NP-Hard combinatorial problem that requires a high computational process. In the case of CVRP, there is an additional constraint in the form of a capacity limit owned by the vehicle, so the complexity of the problem from CVRP is to find the optimum route pattern for minimizing travel costs which are also adjusted to customer demand and vehicle capacity for distribution. One method of solving CVRP can be done by implementing a meta-heuristic algorithm. In this research, two meta-heuristic algorithms have been hybridized: Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) with Improved Simulated Annealing (SA). The motivation behind this idea is to complete the excess and the lack of two algorithms when exploring and exploiting the optimal solution. Hybridization is done by running the ABC algorithm, and then the output solution at this stage will be used as an initial solution for the Improved SA method. Parameter testing for both methods has been carried out to produce an optimal solution. In this study, the test was carried out using the CVRP benchmark dataset generated by Augerat (Dataset 1) and the recent CVRP dataset from Uchoa (Dataset 2). The result shows that hybridizing the ABC algorithm and Improved SA could provide a better solution than the basic ABC without hybridization.]]>
