Routing and path planning problems that involve spatial coverage have received increasing
attention in recent years in different application areas. Spatial coverage refers to the …

This letter concerns optimal power transmission line inspection formulated as a proposed
generalization of the traveling salesman problem for a multi-route one-depot scenario. The …

This research investigates the Set Team Orienteering Problem with Time Windows
(STOPTW), a new variant of the well-known Team Orienteering Problem with Time Windows …

In the real world of manufacturing systems, production planning is crucial for organizing and
optimizing various manufacturing process components. The objective of this paper is to …

This letter concerns a variant of the orienteering problem (OP) that arises from multi-goal
data collection scenarios where a robot with a limited travel budget is requested to visit …

In this paper, MASA (Modified A* Algorithm) method is introduced which can merge
numerous factors with different weights into a multi-weighted graph to offer the most optimal …

This study addresses a new team orienteering problem in which each point can be visited
possibly multiple times with decreasing scores. The problem is to determine a set of routes …

The orienteering problem (OP) is widely applied in real life. However, as the scale of real-
world problem scenarios grows quickly, traditional exact, heuristics, and learning-based …

This paper addresses the Set Orienteering Problem which is a generalization of the
Orienteering Problem where the customers are grouped in clusters, and the profit associated …

We introduce a mission planning concept for routing unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs)
through a set of sampling locations in the immediate aftermath of an incident such as a fire …
