Abstract: Abstract We propose a decision support system (DSS) to complete the tours of the routes of the traveler in charge of document distribution in the least amount of time for the document distribution task of a university to prepare autonomous vehicle-integrated distribution systems. A mathematical model-based decision support system is developed to determine distribution routes that optimize the total distance to target locations and obtain optimal system conditions for use in the migration of autonomous distribution systems. The purpose is to find the shortest-cost tours to cover all or subsets of edges in a network. Documents are shared and distributed by travelers to other related locations. Soon after, travelers will be replaced by autonomous vehicles. There are many application areas, such as newspapers and mail delivery systems. Therefore, the proposed model can be easily extended to other application areas, such as newspaper, cargo, and mail delivery systems, to construct autonomous vehicle-based systems.
