实践中,企业并行实施地域上分散的多个项目时,资源在各子项目之间的转移时间是影响多项目整体进度的关键因素,同时在动态多项目环境下,新项目不断到达且到达时间不可预知使得制定多项目调度计划遭遇更大困难。本文在动态环境下对资源转移时间型分布式多项目调度问题进行建模和求解,基于多代理系统建立分布式多项目调度问题的动态模型,并将拍卖理论引入其中,设计一种基于时间窗拍卖机制的分布式多代理系统(DMAS/ATW),在动态环境和资源转移时间约束下为多项目配置全局资源。通过一个具体的分布式多项目示例详细分析DMAS/ATW算法的动态调度过程,并基于MPSPLIB中的分布式多项目算例开展数值实验。实验结果表明：无资源转移时间约束时,DMAS/ATW算法求得的平均项目延迟同比相关文献中的DMAS/RIA算法最多减少42%,平均减少26%;有资源转移时间约束时,DMAS/ATW算法对1/3算例集的求解结果优于DMAS/RIA算法在无资源转移时间约束时的结果,验证了本文DMAS/ATW算法求解效果的优异性。对算例规模和全局资源利用系数的实验分析还表明,DMAS/ATW算法对不同规模和资源约束紧张程度的算例都具有良好的适应性。

A memetic algorithm for the patient transportation problem

This paper addresses a real-life public patient transportation problem derived from the Hong Kong Hospital Authority (HKHA), which provides ambulance transportation services for disabled and elderly patients from one location to another. We model the problem as a multi-trip dial-a-ride problem (MTDARP), which requires designing several routes for each ambulance. A route is a sequence of locations, starting and terminating at the depot (hospital), according to which the ambulance picks up clients at the origins and delivers them to the destinations. A route is feasible only if it satisfies a series of side constraints, such as the pair and precedence constraints, capacity limit, ride time, route duration limit and time windows. Owing to the route duration limit, in particular, every ambulance is scheduled to operate several routes during the working period. To prevent the spread of disease, the interior of the ambulances needs to be disinfected at the depot between two consecutive trips. The primary aim of the problem investigated herein is to service more requests with the given resources, and to minimize the total travel cost for the same number of requests. In this paper, we provide a mathematical formulation for the problem and develop a memetic algorithm with a customized recombination operator. Moreover, the segment-based evaluation method is adapted to examine the moves quickly. The performance of the proposed algorithm is assessed using the real-world data from 2009 and compared with results obtained by solving the mathematical model. In addition, the proposed algorithm is adapted to solve the classic DARP instances, and found to perform well on medium-scale instances.     

Multi-depot vehicle routing problem with time windows under shared depot resources

A new variant of multi-depot vehicle routing problem with time windows is studied. In the new variant, the depot where the vehicle ends is flexible, namely, it is not entirely the same as the depot that it starts from. An integer programming model is formulated with the minimum total traveling cost under the constrains of time window, capacity and route duration of the vehicle, the fleet size and the number of parking spaces of each depot. As the problem is an NP-Hard problem, a hybrid genetic algorithm with adaptive local search is proposed to solve it. Finally, the computational results show that the proposed method is competitive in terms of solution quality. Compared with the classic MDVRPTW, allowing flexible choice of the stop depot can further reduce total traveling cost.

Hybridization of tabu search with feasible and infeasible local searches for periodic home health care logistics

This paper addresses a periodic vehicle routing problem encountered in home health care (HHC) logistics. It extends the classical Periodic Vehicle Routing Problem with Time Windows (PVRPTW) to three types of demands of patients at home. Demands include transportation of drugs/medical devices between the HHC depot and patients׳ homes, delivery of special drugs from the hospital to patients, and delivery of blood samples from patients to the lab. Each patient requires a certain number of visits within a planning horizon and has a set of possible combinations of visit days. Daily routing should meet time window constraints associated with patients, the hospital and the lab. The problem consists in determining the visit days of each patient and vehicle routes for each day in order to minimize the maximal routing costs among all routes over the horizon. We propose a Tabu Search method combined with different local search schemes including both feasible and infeasible local searches. The proposed approaches are tested on a range of instances derived from existing Vehicle Routing Problem with Time Window (VRPTW) benchmarks and benchmarks on special cases of our problem. Numerical results show that local search scheme starting with an infeasible local search with a small probability followed by a feasible local search with high probability is an interesting hybridization. Experiments with field data from a HHC company show that the proposed approach reduces the total cost and better balances the workloads of vehicles.     

Resource constrained scheduling with general truncated job-dependent learning effect

Scheduling with general truncated job-dependent learning effect and resource-dependent processing times is studied on a single machine. It is assumed that the job processing time is a function of the amount of resource allocated to the job, the general job-dependent learning effect and the job-dependent control parameter. For each version of the problem that differs in terms of the objective functions and the processing time functions, the optimal resource allocation is provided. Polynomial time algorithms are also developed to find the optimal schedule of several versions of the problem.

A simplified algorithm for the depot location problem

This paper describes a simplified optimization algorithm used for the solution of a classical depot location problem as presented in a Greek Manufacturing Company. Algorithms in the literature for this type of problem are based on the assumption of predetermined fixed costs which are independent of the final size of the depots. This assumption is usually far from reality; the size of each depot does not remain constant during the optimization process and so does the associated fixed cost which is variable with the size of the depot. This assumption is relaxed in the proposed algorithm; the associated fixed cost is modified each time a new customer is allocated to a depot thus changing the required depot size.
