Swedish team wins Wagner Prize for unique truck-routing solution

摘要

Every day millions of people rely on GPS to navigate to and from locations around the world. But what happens if you must frequently travel through an area that is accessed primarily by private roads, or you drive a vehicle that cannot safely navigate on certain routes? For their work in identifying a solution to this problem, Mikael R?nnqvist of the Université Laval, Canada; Gert Andersson, Gunnar Svenson and Patrik Flisberg of the Forestry Research Institute of Sweden; and Lars-Erik J?nsson of the SDC, Sundsvall, Sweden, were presented the 2016 Daniel H. Wagner Prize for Excellence in Operations Research Practice by INFORMS.
