Abstract

The presented two-campus transport problem (TCTP) is a pickup-and-delivery scheduling problem. It is a problem of a college with two campuses located at two different cities. Lecturers living in one city should sometimes teach at the other city campus. The problem is that of transporting N lecturers from one campus to the other, using a fleet of k vehicles, so as to minimize the time the lecturers wait for their transport. This is an optimal set partition problem. We mathematically model the one-directional case of the TCTP. The feasible space solution is represented by linear extensions of the requested departure time partially ordered set and reduction to the shortest path problem. This enables finding the optimal solution for the one directional case. TCTP is a two-destinations version of a dial-a-ride problem (DARP).
