Lower bounds and heuristics for the Windy Rural Postman Problem
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we present several heuristic algorithms and a cutting-plane algorithm for the Windy Rural Postman Problem. This problem contains a big number of important Arc Routing Problems as special cases and has very interesting real-life applications. Extensive computational experiments over different sets of instances are also presented.

The Windy Prize-Collecting Rural Postman Problem: An Ant-Colony Based Heuristic
The Prize-collecting Rural Postman Problem, also known as the Privatized Rural Postman Problem, is an arc-routing problem where each demand edge is associated with a profit, which is collected once if the edge is served, independently of the number of traversals. Included edges incur in routing costs proportionally to the number of traversals. In this paper, we introduce the Windy Privatized Ru...
متن کاملCapacitated Windy Rural Postman Problem with Several Vehicles: A Hybrid Multi-Objective Simulated Annealing Algorithm
This paper presents the capacitated Windy Rural Postman Problem with several vehicles. For this problem, two objectives are considered. One of them is the minimization of the total cost of all vehicle routes expressed by the sum of the total traversing cost and another one is reduction of the maximum cost of vehicle route in order to find a set of equitable tours for the vehicles. Mathematical ...

Extensive computational experiments over different sets of instances, with sizes up to 988 ...
متن کاملA branch-price-and-cut method for the min-max k-windy rural postman problem
Given the edges of a graph, the postman problem consists of determining for a vehicle (postman) a shortest route that traverses all edges at least once. Each edge can be traversed in either direction and, when an edge is traversed more than once, the vehicle is said to be deadheading after its first traversal. The rural postman problem is the same as the postman problem except that the edges ar...
متن کاملOAR Lib: An Open Source Arc Routing Library
We provide a flexible graph architecture, and an implementation of solvers to some of the most ubiquitous problems in the field of Arc Routing, (The Chinese Postman Problem on undirected, directed, mixed, and windy graphs, as well as the Rural Postman Problem on directed and windy graphs). The project is completed in java, is open source, and is hosted at https://github.com/Olibear/ArcRoutingLi...
