Abstract: This paper discusses a computer-assisted method for routing and scheduling street sweepers in a municipality. We present the basic structure of this vehicle routing and scheduling problem, formulate the street-sweeper routing problem, and explain the algorithm. The computer implementation based on this algorithm is then described. Computational experience with the system in New York City and Washington, D.C., is presented and the obstacles to and successes with implementation are discussed.
