摘要: Consider a set of trips where each trip is specified priori by place origin, destination, duration, cost, and time interval within which the must begin. The may include visits to one or more specific points. Our problem determine number vehicles required, together with their routes schedules, so that begins its given interval, while fixed costs related vehicles, travel between trips, are minimized. generalization m-traveling salesman problem. We use column generation on partitioning solved simplex branch-and-bound; columns generated shortest path algorithm windows nodes. Numerical results for several school bus transportation problems up 151 discussed.
