Abstract
In this paper, we introduce the Steiner Bi-objective Shortest Path Problem. This problem is defined on a directed graph with a subset of terminals. Arcs are labeled with travel time and cost. The goal is to find a complete set of efficient paths between every pair of nodes in . The motivation behind this problem stems from data preprocessing for vehicle routing problems. We propose a solution method based on a labeling approach with a multi-objective A* search strategy guiding the search towards the terminals. Computational results based on instances generated from real road networks show the efficiency of the proposed algorithm compared to state-of-art approaches.
期刊介绍:
The aim of this journal is to contribute to the many areas in which Operations Research and Computer Science are tightly connected with each other. More precisely, the common element in all contributions to this journal is the use of computers for the solution of optimization problems. Both methodological contributions and innovative applications are considered, but validation through convincing computational experiments is desirable. The journal publishes three types of articles (i) research articles, (ii) tutorials, and (iii) surveys. A research article presents original methodological contributions. A tutorial provides an introduction to an advanced topic designed to ease the use of the relevant methodology. A survey provides a wide overview of a given subject by summarizing and organizing research results.
