Efficient human resource planning is the cornerstone of designing an effective home health
care system. Human resource planning in home health care system consists of decisions on …

Abstract The Orienteering Problem with Time Windows (OPTW) is a combinatorial
optimization problem where the goal is to maximize the total score collected from different …

This paper addresses the time dependent orienteering problem with time windows and
service time dependent profits (TDOPTW-STP). In the TDOPTW-STP, each vertex is …

Improving the travel experience is a goal of tourist destinations. Tourists demand information
and services that help plan and organise the trips adapted to their preferences and …

This paper studies a multi-trip routing problem of a shuttle fleet to transport blood units from
collection sites to a blood center. In this problem, the blood units intended to produce …

In this paper, we study a variant of the orienteering problem called the clustered orienteering
problem. In this problem, customers are grouped into clusters. A profit is associated with …

One of the most crucial issues in the tourism industry that can help attract more tourists is to
design optimal travel routes for tourists. The Team Orienteering Problem with Time Windows …

In the context of establishing emission control areas (ECAs) in many ports to meet the
challenges posed by air pollution, the use of drone-carrying sniffers to perform emission …

This paper studies the team orienteering problem, where the arrival time and service time
affect the collection of profits. Such interactions result in a nonconcave profit function. This …

In this paper, we propose an evolutionary algorithm for solving the multi-robot orienteering
problem where a team of cooperative robots aims to maximize the total information collected …
