A decomposition-based heuristic for stochastic emergency routing problems

作者:

Highlights:

• We consider a network delivery problem under travel-time and deadline uncertainty.

• We propose a heuristic procedure which uses decomposition to address the problem.

• The heuristic allows for flexible decision-making based on risk appetite.

• We experiment on three uncertainty regimes: low, medium, and high.

• Results suggest that greater uncertainty enhances the heuristic’s reliability.
