Outline of Final Research Achievements

The covering tour problem can be applied to real-world problems. An example of the CTP would be to locate a number of regional distribution centers among a set of candidate sites in such a way that all customers are within reasonable distance from at least one regional distribution center and that the cost of delivery and pick-up routes is minimized. We introduced several realistic constraints into the original CTP, and proposed heuristic algorithms for the CTP. Our algorithm could find a good solution.
