Balancing Bicycle Sharing Systems: An Approach for the Dynamic Case
[chapter]
2014
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
Operators of public bicycle sharing systems (BSSs) have to regularly redistribute bikes across their stations in order to avoid them getting overly full or empty. We consider the dynamic case where this is done while the system is in use. There are two main objectives: On the one hand it is desirable to reach particular target fill levels at the end of the process so that the stations are likely to meet user demands for the upcoming day(s). On the other hand operators also want to prevent

... ns from running empty or full during the rebalancing process which would lead to unsatisfied customers. We extend our previous work on the static variant of the problem by introducing an efficient way to model the dynamic case as well as adapting our previous greedy and PILOT construction heuristic, variable neighborhood search and GRASP. Computational experiments are performed on instances based on real-world data from Citybike Wien, a BSS operator in Vienna, where the model for user demands is derived from historical data.
Kara: A System for Visualising and Visual Editing of Interpretations for Answer-Set Programs
[chapter]
2013
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
In answer-set programming (ASP), the solutions of a problem are encoded in dedicated models, called answer sets, of a logical theory. These answer sets are computed from the program that represents the theory by means of an ASP solver and returned to the user as sets of ground first-order literals. As this type of representation is often cumbersome for the user to interpret, tools like ASPVIZ and IDPDraw were developed that allow for visualising answer sets. The tool Kara, introduced in this

... er, follows these approaches, using ASP itself as a language for defining visualisations of interpretations. Unlike existing tools that position graphic primitives according to static coordinates only, Kara allows for more high-level specifications, supporting graph structures, grids, and relative positioning of graphical elements. Moreover, generalising the functionality of previous tools, Kara provides modifiable visualisations such that interpretations can be manipulated by graphically editing their visualisations. This is realised by resorting to abductive reasoning techniques. Kara is part of SeaLion, a forthcoming integrated development environment (IDE) for ASP.
Balancing Bicycle Sharing Systems: An Analysis of Path Relinking and Recombination within a GRASP Hybrid
[chapter]
2014
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
In bike sharing systems, a vehicle fleet rebalances the system by continuously moving bikes among stations in order to avoid rental stations to run entirely empty or full. We address the static problem variant assuming initial fill levels for each station and seek vehicle tours with corresponding loading instructions to reach given target fill levels as far as possible. Our primary objective is to minimize the absolute deviation between target and final fill levels for all rental stations.

... ing upon a previously suggested GRASP hybrid, we investigate different approaches for hybridizing them with Path Relinking (PR) and simpler recombination operators. Computational tests on benchmark instances derived from a real world scenario in Vienna give insight on the impacts of the PR and recombination techniques and manifest that certain PR extension improve the results significantly. Ultimately, a hybrid exclusively searching a partial PR path in the neighborhood of the guiding solutions turns out to be most fruitful.

Efficient Consideration of Soft Time Windows in a Large Neighborhood Search for the Districting and Routing Problem for Security Control
[chapter]
2017
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
For many companies it is important to protect their physical and intellectual property in an efficient and economically viable manner. Thus, specialized security companies are delegated to guard private and public property. These companies have to control a typically large number of buildings, which is usually done by teams of security guards patrolling different sets of buildings. Each building has to be visited several times within given time windows and tours to patrol these buildings are

... nned over a certain number of periods (days). This problem is regarded as the Districting and Routing Problem for Security Control. Investigations have shown that small time window violations do not really matter much in practice but can drastically improve solution quality. When softening time windows of the original problem, a new subproblem arises where the minimum time window penalty for a given set of districts has to be found for each considered candidate route: What are optimal times for the individual visits of objects that minimize the overall penalty for time window violations? We call this Optimal Arrival Time Problem. In this paper, we investigate this subproblem in particular and first give an exact solution approach based on linear programming. As this method is quite time-consuming we further propose a heuristic approach based on greedy methods in combination with dynamic programming. The whole mechanism is embedded in a large neighborhood search (LNS) to seek for solutions having minimum time window violations. Results show that using the proposed heuristic method for determining almost optimal starting times is much faster, allowing substantially more LNS iterations yielding in the end better overall solutions.
