Tracking moving targets and the nonstationary traveling salesman problem

| Abstract | |
| The Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP) has been studied extensively in the literature with the assumption that all cities to be visited are stationary. In this paper, we investigate a non-stationary version of TSP (NTSP) where all cities (objects/targets) are moving at known velocities. This problem is motivated by many real life problems in security and defence. We propose a genetic algorithm based solution approach for NTSP and analyse the solutions obtained. | |
