Abstract

This article presents the design and application of real-time routing modelling to the problem of geographically dispersed emergency requests through service mobile teams. Based on the dynamic repairman travelling problem (DRTP), the search of the solution was done using a computer model for evaluate the operational strategies that result in less waiting times for a given demand profile. A solution algorithm based on the Hungarian method that resulted in appropriate computational response times is presented and tested.
