Abstract
A hierarchical multiobjective model based predictive control approach is
presented for solving a dynamic pickup and delivery problem. The hierarchical
multilayer structure of the system is used to decompose the optimization
problem into smaller but more tractable subproblems. In the bottom layer, the
dispatcher (re)routes the vehicles when a new request appears, and minimizes
user and operator costs. As those two components are usually aimed at opposite
goals, the problem is formulated and solved through multiobjective model
predictive control. The dispatcher participates in the dynamic routing
decisions by expressing his/her preferences in a progressively interactive way.
An illustrative experiment of the new approach through simulation of the
process is presented to show the potential benefits in the operator cost and in
the quality of service perceived by the users.
