A Mixed-Integer Conic Program for the Multi-Agent Moving-Target Traveling Salesman Problem.
CoRR(2025)
Abstract
The Moving-Target Traveling Salesman Problem (MT-TSP) aims to find a shortest path for an agent that starts at a stationary depot, visits a set of moving targets exactly once, each within one of their respective time windows, and then returns to the depot. In this paper, we introduce a new Mixed-Integer Conic Program (MICP) formulation that finds the optimum for the Multi-Agent Moving-Target Traveling Salesman Problem (MA-MT-TSP), a generalization of the MT-TSP involving multiple agents. We obtain our formulation by first restating the current state-of-the-art MICP formulation for MA-MT-TSP as a Mixed-Integer Nonlinear Nonconvex Program, and then reformulating it as a new MICP. We present computational results to demonstrate the performance of our approach. The results show that our formulation significantly outperforms the state-of-the-art, with up to a two-order-of-magnitude reduction in runtime, and up to over 90
