Open Source Code No The paper does not contain any statement or link indicating that the source code for the described methodology is publicly available.
Open Datasets No The paper mentions using 'real road-map and transportation data from three European cities (Table 1)' and describes how instances were generated, but does not provide concrete access information (e.g., link, DOI, specific citation to the dataset source with authors and year) for this data.
Dataset Splits No The paper does not specify exact dataset split percentages, absolute sample counts for validation, or any cross-validation setup.
Hardware Specification No The paper mentions 'an Intel Xeon CPU cluster' but does not provide specific details such as exact CPU models, memory specifications, or GPU information used for the experiments.
Software Dependencies No The paper mentions using the 'DIJA journey planning system' and 'Fast Downward planner' but does not provide specific version numbers for these software components or any other ancillary software.
Experiment Setup Yes We generated a total of 180 instances with the real road-map and transportation data from three European cities (Table 1). In each instance, there are either 6 or 12 workers, while the number of patients was varied between 8 24. ... Appointment times are randomly set between 10 11AM. Workers start times are fixed at 10AM. ... Experiments are conducted on an Intel Xeon CPU cluster, with a time and memory limit of one hour and 1.5 million in-memory states per instance. ... We then assumed that Fast Downward can obtain the heuristic edge cost ch by subtracting a constant c from the actual edge cost ca, i.e. ch = max(0, ca c)... We show results obtained with c = 8 and c = 1
