The routing and scheduling of vehicles and their crews is an area of increasing importance. In this paper, we describe a large scale vehicle scheduling and routing problem which i...
The resource-constrained elementary shortest path problem arises as a pricing subproblem in branch-and-price algorithms for vehicle routing problems with additional constraints. W...
In this paper, we propose a manpower allocation model with time windows which is of practical interest to serviceman scheduling operations. Specifically, this problem originates f...
In many industrial applications, the dynamic control of queuing and routing presents difficult challenges. We describe a novel ant colony control system for a multiobjective sorti...
