Abstract

SYNOPTIC ABSTRACTThe single-vehicle dial-a-ride problem with time window constraints for both pick-up and delivery locations, and precedence and capacity constraints, is solved using a forward dynamic programming algorithm. The total distance is minimized. The development of criteria for the elimination of infeasible states results in solution times which increase linearly with problem size.
