Installation

npm install @neural-trader/example-logistics-optimization

Quick Start

import {
  LogisticsOptimizer,
  createSampleData,
  SwarmConfig
} from '@neural-trader/example-logistics-optimization';

// Create sample problem
const { customers, vehicles } = createSampleData(50, 5);

// Configure swarm
const swarmConfig: SwarmConfig = {
  numAgents: 10,
  topology: 'mesh',
  communicationStrategy: 'best-solution',
  convergenceCriteria: {
    maxIterations: 100
  }
};

// Optimize with swarm
const optimizer = new LogisticsOptimizer(
  customers,
  vehicles,
  true, // use swarm
  swarmConfig
);

const solution = await optimizer.optimize();
console.log(`Best fitness: ${solution.fitness}`);
console.log(`Total cost: $${solution.totalCost}`);
console.log(`Routes: ${solution.routes.length}`);

Swarm Coordination

The package uses agentic-flow for multi-agent coordination, allowing 10+ agents to explore different optimization strategies simultaneously:

// 12 agents with different algorithms
const swarmConfig: SwarmConfig = {
  numAgents: 12,
  topology: 'mesh',
  communicationStrategy: 'best-solution',
  convergenceCriteria: {
    maxIterations: 200,
    noImprovementSteps: 30
  }
};

const coordinator = new SwarmCoordinator(
  swarmConfig,
  customers,
  vehicles
);

// Monitor progress
const monitorInterval = setInterval(() => {
  const status = coordinator.getStatus();
  console.log(`Iteration ${status.iteration}, Best: ${status.globalBestFitness}`);
}, 1000);

const solution = await coordinator.optimize();
clearInterval(monitorInterval);

Self-Learning

The system learns from every optimization run:

// Get learning statistics
const stats = optimizer.getStatistics();
console.log(`Total episodes: ${stats.totalEpisodes}`);
console.log(`Improvement rate: ${stats.improvementRate}%`);
console.log(`Traffic patterns learned: ${stats.trafficPatternsLearned}`);

// Export learned patterns
const patterns = optimizer.exportPatterns();
saveToFile('patterns.json', patterns);

// Import patterns in new session
const savedPatterns = loadFromFile('patterns.json');
optimizer.importPatterns(savedPatterns);

Algorithms

Genetic Algorithm

Evolves solutions through selection, crossover, and mutation:

const solution = await optimizer.optimize('genetic');

Simulated Annealing

Explores solution space with temperature-based acceptance:

const solution = await optimizer.optimize('simulated-annealing');

Ant Colony Optimization

Uses pheromone trails to guide solution construction:

const solution = await optimizer.optimize('ant-colony');

AI-Powered Recommendations

Use OpenRouter for intelligent constraint analysis:

// Set API key
process.env.OPENROUTER_API_KEY = 'your-key-here';

// Get recommendations
const recommendations = await optimizer.getRecommendations(solution);
console.log(recommendations);
