Abstract

This paper proposes a dynamic programming algorithm for the NRCSRP with multiple crews. This algorithm also improves the existing algorithm for the problem with a single crew.

Highlights

  • The recent paper Duque, Dolinskaya, and Sorensen [2] considers a scheduling problem of a repair crew in emergency relief network

  • Let G = (V, E) be an undirected connected graph with V = Vd ∪ Vr ∪ {0}, where set E contains all undirected edges in the network and Vd is the set of demand nodes, Vr is the set of damaged nodes to repair and 0 is the depot node where the relief supplies are positioned and from which the repair crew initially departs

  • A travel time ti,j is defined for each edge ei,j to represent the travel time required by the repair crew to traverse on it

Summary

Introduction

The recent paper Duque, Dolinskaya, and Sorensen [2] considers a scheduling problem of a repair crew in emergency relief network. Each of the damaged roads is represented as a node in the middle of its corresponding link. Each damage node j represents the locations where the work of the repair crew is needed. Such nodes have a repair time sj that represents the time the repair crew spends on its first visit.
