Researchers have developed a new machine learning approach, based on the Transformer architecture, to optimize the dispatch of nursing care taxis. This method addresses complex constraints such as wheelchair use, user compatibility, and vehicle limitations, which are often simplified in previous neural-based routing solutions. The approach involves training the model on high-quality solutions generated by an integer linear programming solver, followed by post-processing to ensure all constraints are met. Real-world data demonstrated that this method achieved balanced solutions, reducing operating time by up to 8% for certain problem sizes while minimizing constraint violations. AI
