Spiral: Facilities Design and Conceptual Layout

I have created the Spiral program to allow the experimental investigation of the efficiency and effectiveness of various heuristic and optimal algorithms for the design and conceptual layout of facilities. You can display an illustration of the Spiral program. You can find more information on Spiral.

Students in the School of Industrial and Systems Engineering of the Georgia Institute of Technology can use a version of Spiral as long as they are enrolled as students. The Spiral software is installed on all PC compatible computers in the Undergraduate and Graduate Computer Labs.

Tours: Traveling Salesman Routing

I have created the Tours program to allow the experimental investigation of the efficiency and effectiveness of various heuristic and optimal algorithms for the Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP). I use it to demonstrate heuristics and the Traveling Salesman Problem in my senior undergraduate and Masters classes. You can display an illustration of the Tours program.

You can find more information on Tours. Students in the School of Industrial and Systems Engineering of the Georgia Institute of Technology can use a version of Tours32 as long as they are enrolled as students.

Lineback: Linehaul-Backhaul Vehicle Routing

I have created the Lineback program to allow the experimental investigation of the efficiency and effectiveness of various heuristic and optimal algorithms for the Vehicle Routing Problem with Backhauling (VRPB). I use it to demonstrate heuristics and the vehicle routing in my senior undergraduate and Masters classes. You can display an illustration of the Lineback program as well as a more detailed illustration of a linehaul-backhaul route.

You can find more information on Lineback including a viewer version of the program and set of test cases.
