Solving Time-Dependent Planning Problems

چکیده
A planning problem is time-dependent, if the time spent planning affects the uti l i ty of the system's performance. In [Dean and Boddy, 1988], we define a framework for constructing solutions to time-dependent planning problems, called expectation-driven iterative refinement. In this paper, we analyze and solve a moderately complex time-dependent planning problem involving path planning for a mobile robot, as a way of exploring a methodology for applying expectation-driven iterative refinement. The fact that we construct a solution to the proposed problem without appealing to luck or extraordinary inspiration provides evidence that expectation-driven iterative refinement is an appropriate framework for solving time-dependent planning problems.

AN ANT COLONY SYSTEM ALGORITHM FOR THE TIME DEPENDENT NETWORK DESIGN PROBLEM
Network design problem is one of the most complicated and yet challenging problems in transportation planning. The Bi-level, non-convex and integer nature of network design problem has made it into one of the most complicated optimization problems. Inclusion of time dimension to the classical network design problem could add to this complexity. In this paper an Ant Colony System (ACS) has been ...
متن کاملSolving a generalized aggregate production planning problem by genetic algorithms
This paper presents a genetic algorithm (GA) for solving a generalized model of single-item resource-constrained aggregate production planning (APP) with linear cost functions. APP belongs to a class of pro-duction planning problems in which there is a single production variable representing the total production of all products. We linearize a linear mixed-integer model of APP subject to hiring...

Time-dependent Vehicle Routing Problem is one of the most applicable but least-studied variants of routing and scheduling problems. In this paper, a novel mathematical formulation of time-dependent vehicle routing problems with heterogeneous fleet, hard time widows and multiple depots, is proposed. To deal with the traffic congestions, we also considered that the vehicles are not forced to come...
