In late 2015 three of the co-authors of this paper published the first review on time-dependent routing problems. Since then, there have been several important algorithmic developments in the field. These include travel time prediction methods, real-time re-optimization by operating directly on the road graph, efficient exploration of solution neighborhoods, dynamic discretization discovery and Machine Learning-inspired methods. The aim of this survey is to present such research lines, together with indications on their further developments.
Integrating Large Language Models and Optimization in Semi- Structured Decision Making: Methodology and a Case Study
Semi-structured decisions, which fall between highly structured and unstructured decision types, rely on human intuition and experience for the final choice, while using data and analytical models to generate tentative solutions. These processes are traditionally iterative and time-consuming, requiring cycles …
