Time-dependent routing amounts to design “best” routes in a graph in which arc traversal times may vary over the planning horizon. In the last decade, a number of technological advances have stimulated an increased interest in this field.
We survey the research in the area and present a comprehensive review of travel time modelling, applications and solution methods.
