Optimal Sequence of Multiple Jeeps Problems

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this paper the focus is on the logistics for a caravan of jeeps which travel in the desert. Based on the dynamic program principle, the maximum distances for the caravan when only a part of the jeeps should return and when all drivers should return is obtained. The optimal sequence for the expedition problem as well as the optimal time for the maximum distance is also carefully studied and presented.
