Innovative methods for vehicle scheduling and routing

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6637211
The report describes preliminary research on new algorithms for the vehicle scheduling and routing problem (VSRP), which have been developed to reduce computational requirements and yet address the complicated constraints that occur in real-world transportation problems. Specific objectives of the research described in the report include formulation, preliminary implementation, and testing of the new algorithms, and evaluation of the feasibility for integration into a commercial-vehicle scheduling and routing system. These new algorithms are sufficiently fast as to be capable of implementation on a microcomputer, thereby providing the basis for development of a cost-effective and widely applicable commercial vehicle scheduling and routing system.
