CCIS Seminar: Vehicle Routing in the Real World: A Case Study

Dear colleagues,

Centre for Computing and Intelligent Systems (CCIS) is pleased to invite you for the following talk by Prof Sam Thangiah from Slippery Rock University, USA:

Date: 14 Jan 2010 (Thursday)
Time: 10.30am
Venue: PD208, UTAR FICT-PJ

Title: Vehicle Routing in the Real World: A Case Study
Abstract:
This presentation is on a school bus routing system implemented to solve a real-life multi‑depot, multi-destination, mix-fleet vehicle routing problem for a school district. The school district consisted of 1200 pickup points, 2000 students and 60 school buses. The precise distances between the pickup points were obtained using digitized road maps. The solutions obtained by the implemented system are compared with the routes used by the school district.

Speaker: Prof Sam Thangiah, Artificial Intelligence and Robotics Laboratory. Slippery Rock University
Profile:

Sam R. Thangiah has a bachelors and masters in computer science and a Ph.D. in computer science with emphasis in artificial intelligence and operations research. He initially worked on intelligent algorithms for routing cruise missiles in real time. He is currently the Professor and Director of the Artificial Intelligence and Robotics Lab. at Slippery Rock University and his research interests are in the routing and scheduling of robots/trucks for complex routing problems using intelligent algorithms.
