Routing and staff planning for home services

The research pursued by the internship will concern the development of new models and
original solution methods for the tactical and operational planning of home services. The
research work is driven by important applications in healthcare but could also be extended
to maintenance services. The models will include complex constraints as: integrated staff
planning and vehicle routing, resource synchronization, time windows, regularity,
consistency, equity. Considering these constraints in vehicle routing problems is relatively
new and still challenging. Adding the staff scheduling dimension makes the problem even
harder.
