Littlefleets Solutions Inc. operates in the sector of urban route planning and fleet scheduling. The companymaintains the dynamic routing and scheduling system with the mobile app as the front-end. This system, in realtime, has to meet particular service requirements of the customers, based on their request information. Planningthe routes to satisfy users time, compatibility and location restrictions, as well as to minimize the total traveldistance usage, can be challenging, especially with the scale of heavily urbanized city networks. Indeed,underlying problems that are required to be algorithmically solved are studied heavily in both academic andindustrial communities. Developing the state of the art approach depends on the effective mathematicalmodeling as well as general proficiency with devising scalable and robust computational algorithms. The groupwill evaluate the recent progress in the area and provide the company with the most suitable computationalframework to address their needs in described optimization. Coming up with efficient solutions to thesechallenges will benefit the growth of the customer base of the company and improve the immediate quality ofservices they provide. Needless to say, that reducing the traffic load (and as a result the carbon emission of thecity transportation system) is one of the requirements for sustainable development of the country.
