Heuristics for the Traveling Repairman Problem with Profits
In the traveling repairman problem with profits, a repairman (also known as the server) visits a subset of nodes in order to collect time-dependent profits. The objective consists of maximizing the total collected revenue. We restrict our study to the case of a single server with nodes located in the Euclidean plane. We investigate properties of this problem, and we derive a mathematical model assuming that the number of visited nodes is known in advance. We describe a tabu search algorithm with multiple neighborhoods, and we test its performance by running it on instances based on TSPLIB. We conclude that the tabu search algorithm finds good-quality solutions fast, even for large instances. 1998 ACM Subject Classification I.2.8 Heuristic Methods Keywords and phrases Traveling Repairman, Profits, Latency, Tabu Search, Relief Efforts Digital Object Identifier 10.4230/OASIcs.ATMOS.2010.34
