Researchers have developed a new reward-density heuristic, termed the Efficiency heuristic, for dynamic multi-vehicle routing problems. This heuristic aims to maximize cumulative reward collected by a fleet of vehicles within a set time frame, while continuously replanning as new tasks emerge. Tested on applications like autonomous drone task allocation and urban taxi dispatch, the Efficiency heuristic demonstrated performance comparable to advanced metaheuristic algorithms but required significantly less computational time, establishing Pareto dominance.
