OPTIMISATION MODELS FOR SNOW CLEARANCE: FINAL REPORT

OPTIMERINGSMODELLER FOER UTFOERANDE AV SNOEROEJNING: SLUTRAPPORT FOER CDU-PROJEKT R6C - TEMA MANAGEMENT. EN FOERSTUDIE DEL 2 PROJEKTRESULTAT

The object of this preliminary study was to investigate quantitative problems in the field of snow clearance, to highlight areas where optimisation models may have great potential, and to outline optimisation areas of interest. It appears that greatest potential for development of models is to be found in routing snow clearance operations. International literature relating to clearance vehicle routing was studied. As a result, mathematical models have been constructed for route optimisation, both during and after snowfall. It is proposed that these models, and optimisation methods for the solution of these models, should be developed.
