Abstract:
A multiobjective-model-based predictive control approach is proposed
to solve a dynamic pickup and delivery problem in the context of a
potential dial-a-ride service implementation. A dynamic objective
function including two relevant dimensions, user and operator costs,
is considered. Because these two components typically have opposing
goals, the problem is formulated and solved using multiobjective model
predictive control to provide the dispatcher with a more transparent
tool for his/her decision-making process. An illustrative experiment
is presented to demonstrate the potential benefits in terms of the
operator cost and quality of service perceived by the users.
