n this research, we are studying the possibility of contribution in solving the Vehicle Routing Problem (VRP), which is one of the optimization problems that, because of its Real Life applications, has attracted a lot of attention at the present tim
e. It is a problem of the NP-hard type. However, because of the complication of polynomial time there is still no algorithm providing us with the optimal solution of this problem. All the used algorithms give solutions that are close to the optimal one .
In this research, we will present the Hybrid Algorithm (HA) in two phases .In the first phase the Sweep Algorithm (SW) is applied, and in the second one the Ant Colony Algorithm and the local search 3-opt are applied. we will then compare the quality of the solution resulted from this hybrid approach with the results of well-known standard tests to determine the effectiveness of the presented approach .
