A Comprehensive Mixed-Integer Programming Model to Optimize the Performance of Freeway Service Patrol Programs
… management must consider the beat configuration, fleet size, and fleet allocation. The beat configuration is how the network is divided into different parts for patrolling, and each part is called a beat. The beat configuration, fleet size, and fleet allocation need to be determined for designing …
