Prof. Dr. Udo Buscher presented a newly developed branch-and-cut algorithm for the Three-Dimensional Loading Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problem. The presented algorithm combines constraint programming and a heuristic packing method for verifying vehicle loads with a set-partitioning-based heuristic to improve route plans effectively.

Daniel Miodowski presented a planning model for deploying machines and personnel in railroad construction1. The aim is to complete as many construction orders as possible within a planning horizon for a given use of resources. The approach presented combines routing and shift planning elements in two alternative model formulations.
