An Exact Branch-and-Cut Method for the Asymmetric Orienteering Problem with Terrain-Driven Fatigue
We present an end-to-end computational framework for provably optimal route planning in orienteering races on real terrain. The framework consists of a GIS pipeline that combines International Orienteering Federation (IOF) map symbols, a digital elevation model (DEM), and the Minetti metabolic model into a fully asymmetric cost matrix, where directional slope costs and cumulative fatigue … Read more
