Separating Valid Odd-Cycle and Odd-Set Inequalities for the Multiple Depot Vehicle Scheduling Problem

référence BibTeX

We consider the multicommodity network flow formulation of the Multiple Depot Vehicle Scheduling Problem (MDVSP) and investigate several strategies within a branch-and-cut framework for solving the MDVSP. In particular we compare subalgorithms for separating the cutting planes introduced by Hadjar, Marcotte, and Soumis in "A Branch-and-Cut Algorithm for the Multiple Depot Vehicle Scheduling Problem" (Operations Research 54, pp. 130-149, 2006). We also evaluate the effectiveness of a new criterion for fixing some variables in the multicommodity flow formulation. Finally we present computational experiments to illustrate the strengths and weaknesses of the strategies.
