Abstract
A real case of route arrangement problem caused by the needs of delivering goods directly to home is discussed in this paper. Normally the route is arranged by a driver according to his experience. However, this arrangement may not be appropriate. For preciseness, an accurate distance matrix is established by performing geographical information software, PowerMap. The problem is solved by adopting a Genetic Algorithm (GA), which is carried out by using commercial software, Evolver. The result shows that the best route given by GA will be better than the driver's experience, and will save about 9% of original distance every day
