Pickup & Delivery

This repository contains code to find solution of Single Vehicle Pickup and Delivery travelling salesman problem (1-PDTSP) using integer programming for any list of cities. 1-PDTSP problem is, given a list of cities and the distances between each pair of cities, what is the shortest possible route that visits each city exactly once and returns to the origin city also fulfilling demands of each node.? My teammates in this project are Hritiz Gogoi and Jyoti.

1-PDTSP MILP Formulation

Let variable \(x_{i,j}\) is a binary variable denoting if edge connecting \(i, j\) is part of optimal solution \((1)\) or not \((0)\). Number of these variables is equal to total number of edges.

\[x = \begin{cases} 1 &\text{if edge } (i,j) \text{ is part of optimal solution} \\ 0 &\text{if edge } (i,j) \text{ is not part of optimal solution} \end{cases}\]

Another variable \(u\) will track edge number, it starts from \(1\) and goes till number of nodes. Number of these variables is equal to total number of nodes.

Let \(\lvert N \rvert\) denotes total number of nodes and \(\vert E \vert\) denotes total number of edges.

\[u \in {1, 2, 3, ...., |N|}\]

Let \(d_{i,j}\) denote distance between cities \(i\) and \(j\)

Model Formulation

\[min\ \sum_{i=1}^{|E|}\sum_{j=1}^{|E|} d_{i,j}x_{i,j}\] \[s.t. \ \ \sum*{i=1}^{n}x*{i,k} = 1 \ \ \forall k\in \{ 1, 2, 3....,|E| \}, i \neq j \tag{1}\] \[\sum*{j=1}^{n}x*{k,j} = 1 \ \ \forall k\in \{ 1, 2, 3....,|E| \}, i \neq j \tag{2}\] \[u_1 = 1 \tag{3}\] \[u*i - u_j + 1 \leq (n-1)(1-x*{i,j}) \ \ \forall (i,j)\in \{ 1, 2, 3....,|E| \}^2, i \neq j \tag{4}\] \[u_i \ge 2 \ \ \forall i\in \{ 2, 3....,|E| \} \tag{5}\] \[u_i \le |N| \ \ \forall i\in \{ 2, 3....,|E| \} \tag{6}\] \[\sum_{i=1}^{n}f_{i,k} - \sum_{j=1}^{n}f_{k,j} = q_i \ \ \forall k\in \{ 1, 2, 3....,|E| \}, i \neq j \tag{7}\] \[0 \leq f_{i,j} \leq Qx_{i,j}, \ \ \forall i \in E \ \ \forall (i,j)\in \{ 1, 2, 3....,|E| \}^2 \tag{8}\]
  • \(constraint(1)\) denotes from each node there is one incoming edge.
  • \(constraint(2)\) denotes from each node there is one outgoing edge.
  • \(constraint(3)\) denotes when \(x_{i,j} = 1\) then \(u_j = u_i + 1\) ie. \(j^{th}\) edge will be labelled \(1\) more than previous label \((i^{th})\) label if edge \(x_{i,j}\) is selected. This constraint denotes ordering of each node in optimal solution. This constraint is not considered for last edge of path which connect last node with first node to create a cycle.
  • \(constraint(4)\) denotes first node ordering is always \(1\)
  • \(constraint(5)\) and \(constraint(6)\) are bound constraints on \(u\).
  • \(constraint(7)\) and \(constraint(8)\) are demand constraints and bound constraints on \(f\) respectively.

Features

  • Provide method to get city details, latitude and longitude information from openstreetmap API using which distance between these cities is calculated using Haversine formula.
  • Provide a formulation of TSP using pyomo that can be solved by any MILP solver supported by pyomo.
