Due to recurrent (e.g. daily or weekly) patterns and non-recurrent disruptions (e.g. caused by incidents), travel times in road networks are time-dependent and inherently random. This is challenging for travelers planning a future trip,…
A weighted point-availability time-dependent network is a list of temporal edges, where each temporal edge has an appearing time value, a travel time value, and a cost value. In this paper we consider the single source Pareto problem in…
In several important routing contexts it is required to identify a set of routes, each of which optimizes a different criterion. For instance, in the context of vehicle routing, one route would minimize the total distance traveled, while…
