A Hybrid Approach for Solving Large Scale Crew Scheduling Problems
We consider several strategies for computing optimal solutions to large scale crew scheduling problems. Provably optimal solutions for very large real instances of such problems were computed using a hybrid approach that integrates mathematical and constraint programming techniques. The declarative nature of the latter proved instrumental when modeling complex problem restrictions and, particul...
متن کاملSolving Large Scale Crew Scheduling Problems by using Iterative Partitioning
This paper deals with large-scale crew scheduling problems arising at the Dutch railway operator, Netherlands Railways (NS). NS operates about 30,000 trains a week. All these trains need a driver and a certain number of conductors. No available crew scheduling algorithm can solve such huge instances at once. A common approach to deal with these huge weekly instances, is to split them into sever...
متن کاملSolving Large Scale Crew Pairing Problems
Crew pairing is one of the most critical processes in airline management operations. Taking a timetable as input, the objective of this process is to find an optimal way to partition flights of the timetable without breaking rules and regulations which are enforced by an airline. The problem has attracted many scientists in recent decades. The main challenge is that there is no general method t...
متن کاملThe Home Care Crew Scheduling Problem: Preference-based visit clustering and temporal dependencies
In the Home Care Crew Scheduling Problem a staff of caretakers has to be assigned a number of visits to patients’ homes, such that the overall service level is maximised. The problem is a generalisation of the vehicle routing problem with time windows. Required travel time between visits and time windows of the visits must be respected. The challenge when assigning visits to caretakers lies in ...
متن کاملA partition-based algorithm for clustering large-scale software systems
Clustering techniques are used to extract the structure of software for understanding, maintaining, and refactoring. In the literature, most of the proposed approaches for software clustering are divided into hierarchical algorithms and search-based techniques. In the former, clustering is a process of merging (splitting) similar (non-similar) clusters. These techniques suffered from the drawba...
