Abstract: Summary In order to reduce testing costs in automotive R&D projects, we introduce an approach to schedule necessary tests such that the number of used experimental vehicles is minimized. Based on a multi-mode resource-constrained project scheduling model with cumulative resources, we propose a MIP formulation, which is solvable for small problem instances. A priority-rule based method serves to solve large problem instances. Finally, we present preliminary computational results.
