Transportation planning using PDDL

Planning is a category under Artificial Intelligence and the target of the planning is to find reasonable plans to achieve the specific goals from the initial state. PDDL (Planning Domain Definition Language) is a high-level modeling language to standardize artificial intelligence planning language and also to express planning models. PDDL is used to solve a series of realistic problems while this report is to get use of PDDL as a method to solve Vehicle Routing Problem. Vehicle Routing Problem (VRP) is defined as “Finding optimal set of routes for a vehicle to traverse in order to collect the packages from a set of customers and eventually return to depot.” This problem is a classical logistics problem and it involves common variables like location (different customers), transport means (number of car, car capacity), load and etc.Bachelor of Engineering (Electrical and Electronic Engineering
