Flexible Route Planning for Sightseeing with Fuzzy Random and Fatigue-Dependent Satisfactions

抄録

This paper proposes a flexible route planning problem for sightseeing with fuzzy random variables for travel times and satisfaction with activities under general sightseeing constraints. Travel time between sightseeing sites and satisfactions with activities depend on weather and climate conditions, and on traveler fatigue, so both fuzzy random variables for travel times and satisfactions and traveler fatigue-dependence are introduced. Tourists are likely to plan favored without drastically changing from the optimal route under usual conditions such as fine weather that suddenly changes for the worse. A route planning problem is proposed to obtain a favorite route similar to the optimal route under usual conditions. Trapezoidal fuzzy numbers and order relations are introduced as a basic case of fuzzy numbers. From order relations, the proposed model is transformed into an extended model of network optimization problems. A numerical example is used to compare the proposed model to standard route planning problems in sightseeing.
