This paper is inspired by a real-world scenario found in the maintenance sector of an electricity distribution company. In this problem, a set of tasks (clients) must be executed by a set of maintenance teams. There is not enough time capacity to visit all clients in the specified period, so a subset of tasks must be chosen to be performed. To address this problem, this paper derives a variation of the well-known Prize-collecting Vehicle Routing Problem and proposes two solving approaches: a MILP formulation and an Iterated Local Search (ILS) algorithm. As presented in our results, the ILS was able to find suitable solutions in an acceptable running time.

摘要

This paper is inspired by a real-world scenario found in the maintenance sector of an electricity distribution company. In this problem, a set of tasks (clients) must be executed by a set of maintenance teams. There is not enough time capacity to visit all clients in the specified period, so a subset of tasks must be chosen to be performed. To address this problem, this paper derives a variation of the well-known Prize-collecting Vehicle Routing Problem and proposes two solving approaches: a MILP formulation and an Iterated Local Search (ILS) algorithm. As presented in our results, the ILS was able to find suitable solutions in an acceptable running time.
