The Problem of the Traveling Salesman with Multiple Passengers and Quota
Taveling Salesman with Passengers and Quota; Metaheusitics; Integer Programming.
This scientific work presents the Traveling Salesman Problem with Multiple Passengers and Quota, variant of the Traveling Salesman Problem with Quota, which is to generate a route for the salesman the driver of the vehicle, which can share the car seats with passengers who request rides in the localities of your route. Every passenger on board is obliged to participate in the apportionment of the costs of the sections of route of the salesman, who is in the vehicle. A mathematical model, an instance bank and a set of resolution methods composed of an exact one, an ad hoc heuristic and seven metaheuristics are proposed for the problem. The results of the exact method for the instances with 10 and 20 localities are reported, and quantitative and qualitative analyzes of computational experiments comparing methods of resolution between them are presented.
