Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Dynamic (or real-time) vehicle routing (VR) is characterized by the fact that part of the data become known during the execution of the routes only, so that planning and execution are interlinked. While the algorithms used for dynamic VR are mainly the same as for static VR – in particular metaheuristics –, the planning scenarios are quite different and occur in many variants.
The focus of this course is less on algorithms, but rather on the various fields of application, problem settings, and planning frameworks, which entail specific requirements for the algorithms.

Assessment and permitted materials

Students write, in teams of two, a working paper on an agreed special subject and present it in the class. The following (not exhaustive) list specifies potential themes, each with a recent paper as entry point to the relevant literature:
Time-dependant travel times (Potvin et al, 2006)
The dynamic dial-a-ride problem (Attanasio et al, 2004)
Urban/Home delivery (Magalhaes et al, 2006)
Internal transport (Le Anh et al, 2010)
Agent-based planning (Mes et al, 2010)
Waiting strategies (Pureza et al, 2008)
Evaluation and Grading
The course grades will be based on the following criteria:
class participation 20 %
working paper 40 %
presentation 40 %
