Transfers often lead to substantial reductions in transportation costs, yet they come with a significant burden of additional computational complexity. Even meta-heuristic methods are thus limited to instances of at most lower hundreds of requests leaving the desirable benefits unreachable for larger instances. Our approach bypasses the complexities inherent to current methods by deciding about the transfers apriori and thus reducing the problem to a PDP instance. To make as informed decisions as possible, we analyze a broader set of characteristics that may be used to carry out the apriori decisions. We opt to derive and examine multiple such PDP instances to cover different transfer choices. Our analysis of the derived PDP instances then allows their efficient processing in parallel. The proposed framework addresses a large-scale freight transportation problem with real-world characteristics and transfers where typical instances count over 1,200 requests and 300 vehicles. We show the potential of the proposed framework on both real-world and synthetic instances with up to 1,500 requests. The experiments demonstrate that substantial savings may be achieved within favorable runtimes even for very large instances.","PeriodicalId":425645,"journal":{"name":"Symposium on Combinatorial Search","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124191164","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In Lifelong MAPF (LMAPF), these agents continuously receive new destinations, and the task is to constantly update their paths while optimizing for a high throughput over time. Therefore, many MAPF sub-problems must be solved over time in order to solve a single LMAPF problem. LMAPF problems manifest in real-world applications, such as automated warehouses, where strict responsiveness requirements limit the amount of time allocated to planning. MAPF algorithms occasionally fail to produce a plan within the allotted time. We propose a system design for LMAPF that is robust to such planning failures. Then, we explore different approaches to avoid planning failures, reduce their severity, and handle them when they occur. In particular, we describe and analyze different Fail Policies that are applied when planning failures occur and ensure collisions and unnecessary degradation of throughput are avoided. To our knowledge, while such Fail Policies are used in practice in the industry, they have yet to be researched academically.","PeriodicalId":425645,"journal":{"name":"Symposium on Combinatorial Search","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128527848","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We investigate one such problem, called MAPF with turn actions MAPF_T, and show that ignoring the kinematic constraints significantly increases solution cost. A first modification of the popular Conflict-Based Search algorithm to MAPF_T yields significantly better plans but comes at the cost of substantial decreases in scalability. We then introduce several techniques that can improve the performance of CBS for MAPF_T, including stronger and generalised versions of existing symmetry-breaking constraints and a novel pruning technique that eliminates redundant branches in the CBS constraint tree. Experimental results on six popular MAPF domains show convincing improvements for CBS success rate and substantial reductions in node expansions and runtime.","PeriodicalId":425645,"journal":{"name":"Symposium on Combinatorial Search","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129067410","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Since solving MAPF optimally is NP-hard, researchers have explored algorithms that solve MAPF suboptimally but efficiently. Priority-Based Search (PBS) is the leading algorithm for this purpose. It finds paths for individual agents, one at a time, and resolves collisions by assigning priorities to the colliding agents and replanning their paths during its search. However, PBS becomes ineffective for MAPF instances with high densities of agents and obstacles. Therefore, we introduce Greedy PBS (GPBS), which uses greedy strategies to speed up PBS by minimizing the number of collisions between agents. We then propose techniques that speed up GPBS further, namely partial expansions, target reasoning, induced constraints, and soft restarts. We show that GPBS with all these improvements has a higher success rate than the state-of-the-art suboptimal algorithm for a 1-minute runtime limit, especially for MAPF instances with small maps and dense obstacles.","PeriodicalId":425645,"journal":{"name":"Symposium on Combinatorial Search","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115967767","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Several attempts have been made to formulate top-k classical planning as a k-shortest paths finding problem and apply K* search, which alternates between A* and Eppstein's algorithm. However, earlier work had shortcomings, among which were failing to handle inconsistent heuristics and degraded performance in Eppstein's algorithm implementations. As a result, existing evaluation results severely underrate the performance of the K* based approach to top-k planning. In this paper, we present a new top-k planner based on a novel variant of K* search. We address the following three aspects. First, we show an alternative implementation of Eppstein's algorithm for classical planning, which resolves a major bottleneck in earlier attempts. Second, we present a new strategy for alternating A* and Eppstein's algorithm, that improves the performance of K* on the classical planning benchmarks. Last, we introduce a simple mitigation of the limitation of K* to tasks with a single goal state, allowing us to preserve heuristic informativeness in face of imposed task reformulation. Empirical evaluation results show that the proposed approach achieves the state-of-the-art performance on the classical planning benchmarks.

Recent work has proposed PUHF, a parallel GBFS which restricts search to exploration of the Bench Transition System (BTS), which is the set of states that can be expanded by GBFS under some tie-breaking policy. However, PUHF causes threads to spend much of the time waiting so that only states which are guaranteed to be in the BTS are expanded.

In general, there is more than one team, and MA-TC-PF is thus a multi-objective planning problem with the goal of finding the entire Pareto-optimal front that represents all possible trade-offs among the objectives of the teams.
