Abstract

The problem of routing and scheduling military convoys adhering to certain constraints is known as the convoy movement problem. This work addresses a bi-criteria model for the peacetime version of the convoy movement problem with minimizing total travel time and travel span as objectives. Two approaches, one based on goal programming and the other based on simulated annealing, are proposed. Encouraging results have been obtained.
