Branch and Price for a reliability oriented DARP model

We deal here with the static version of decisional model related to real time monitoring of a DARP (Dial and Ride) system which involves, on a closed industrial site, small electrical autonomous vehicles. Because of technological issues, we focus on reliability, and propose a model which assigns requests to vehicles while minimizing Load/Unload transactions. We study this model through both a Branch/Price approach, which provides us with benchmarks, and insertion based heuristics, well-fitted to dynamic contexts.
