Capacitated 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 ...

The Windy Postman Problem on Series-Parallel Graphs

The windy postman problem is the NP-hard problem of finding the minimum cost of a tour traversing all edges of an undirected graph, where the cost of traversal of an edge depends on the direction. Given an undirected graph G, we consider the polyhedron O(G) induced by the linear programming relaxation of a well-known integer programming formulation of the problem. We say that G is windy postman...

A 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...

New heuristic algorithms for the windy rural postman problem

In this paper we deal with the Windy Rural Postman Problem. This problem generalizes several important Arc Routing Problems and has interesting real-life applications. Here, we present several heuristics whose study has lead to the design of a Scatter Search algorithm for the Windy Rural Postman Problem. Extensive computational experiments over different sets of instances, with sizes up to 988 ...

An algorithm for the hierarchical Chinese postman problem

The Hierarchical Chinese Postman Problem (HCPP) is a variant of the classical Chinese Postman Problem, in which the arcs are partitioned into clusters and a precedence relation is de ned on clusters. Practical applications of the HCPP include snow and ice control on the roads and determination of optimal torch paths in ame cutting. The HCPP is NP-hard in general, but polynomial-time solvable if...
