Presentation of our work on the modelling of the problem of the Periodic Vehicle Routing Problem
Last week Gwenaël Rault spoke during the 23rd edition of the ISMP (International Symposium on Mathematical Programming) in Bordeaux. He presented the work of the Mapotempo Operational Research team on modelling the Periodic Vehicle Routing Problem in an industrial context.
Technologies used:
- OpenStreetMap + OSRM,
- Ruby + Rails,
- OR-Tools,
The advances:
Our team’s work has solved the problem of routes spread over several days: an agent must visit points several times over a period of time. Therefore, it is now possible to manage the “frequency” within the routing problem: weekly, monthly, annual.
