Orienteering problem with time-windows and updating delay
Abstract
The Orienteering Problem with Time Window and Delay (\OPTiWinD) is a variant of the online orienteering problem. A series of requests appear in various locations while a vehicle moves within the territory to serve them. Each request has a time window during which it can be served and a weight which describes its importance. There is also a minimum delay between successive requests. The objective is to find a path for the vehicles that maximises the sum of the weights of the requests served. We further assume that the length of each time window is equal to the diameter of the territory. We study the optimal performance and competitive ratio for the set of instances with requests. We obtain complete resolution for at least half of the diameter, small values of or small values of , as well as partial results in the remaining cases.
