A real-world employee scheduling and routing application.

Research Output

We describe a hyper-heuristic application developed for a client to find quick, acceptable solutions to Workforce Schedul- ing and Routing problems. An interactive fitness function controlled by the user enables five different objectives to be weighted according to client preference. The application uses a real road network in order to calculate driving dis- tances between locations, and is designed to integrate with a web-based application to access employee calendars.
