10 Apr 2018
Prof. Christian S. Jensen from Aalborg University, Denmark visited the Department and delivered a Distinguished Lecture on “Enabling High-Quality and Efficient Vehicle Routing using Massive Trajectory Data” on 10 April 2018. In the lecture, Prof. Jensen described a new and data-intensive paradigm, including a path-based paradigm, an on-the-fly paradigm, and a cost-oblivious paradigm. These paradigms present new challenges and opportunities to research in routing. The lecture also covered ongoing research in relation to these paradigms. The lecture was full of constructive interaction and well received.
