Tracking moving targets and the nonstationary traveling salesman problem

Q. Jiang, R. Sarker and H. Abbass

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.
