Gully pots or storm drains are located at the side of roads to provide drainage for surface water. We consider gully pot maintenance as a risk-driven maintenance problem. We explore policies for preventative and corrective maintenance actions, and bu...

Evaluating hyperheuristics and local search operators for periodic routing problems (2016)
Journal Article
Chen, Y., Mourdjis, P., Polack, F., Cowling, P., & Remde, S. (2016). Evaluating hyperheuristics and local search operators for periodic routing problems. Lecture notes in computer science, 9595, 104-120. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-30698-8_8

Meta-heuristics and hybrid heuristic approaches have been successfully applied to Periodic Vehicle Routing Problems (PVRPs). However, to be competitive, these methods require careful design of specific search strategies for each problem. By contrast,...
