Through analysis to hereditary property under high complexity condition and adopting both maximum preserved crossover operator and adaptive crossover mutation, the algorithm not only furthest retains the parents’ excellent properties and improves the basic genetic algorithm’s premature properties, but also builds up the simple genetic algorithm’s optimization capabilities and enhances the solution’s accuracy. Program for the model is programmed and runs smoothly. The example analysis and calculation result show that the integrated loading-transportation model and its solution algorithm are feasible and effective: it not only saves 26.6\% of total path, but also makes the average utilization of loading-capacity and volume reach 88\% and 86\% respectively. rv:
