Grain is an important economic and strategic material of the country. In grain transportation, it is necessary to consider the running time, vehicle number, path length and other factors at the same time, which is a typical multi-objective problem, but also a NP-Hard problem. In this paper, an Artificial Bee Colony algorithm is introduced to solve the routing problem of grain transportation vehicles with multi-objective and time windows. Combined with the practical problems of grain transportation, the standard Artificial Bee Colony algorithm is improved in four aspects: population initialization, domain search mode, bulletin board setting and scout bee search mode, and a Multi-objective Artificial Bee Colony algorithm is proposed by using the strategy of first classification and then sorting and final iteration. The proposed algorithm is compared with other algorithms by using the standard test set in Solomon database. The results show that the Multi-objective Discrete Artificial Bee Colony algorithm has great advantages in solving the routing problem of grain transportation vehicles with time windows.
