A fleet manager that brings agents closer to resources: GIS Cup

Abstract

The GISCUP 2020 problem is to write a fleet manager to manage a fleet of mobile agents/taxicabs to service resources/customers introduced in a road network. This paper describes a solution that uses a dynamic weighting system to send agents to locations where more resources may show up. It also tries to send agents to waiting resources and assign a resource to the best agent. Results show that the solution is effective at minimizing resource wait time and reducing agent search time.
