The patrol scheduling problem is concerned with assigning security teams to different stations for distinct time intervals while respecting a limited number of contractual constraints. The objective is to minimise the total distance travelled while maximising the coverage of the stations with respect to their security requirement levels. This paper introduces a hyper-heuristic strategy focusing on generating diverse solutions for a bi-objective patrol scheduling problem. While a variety of hyper-heuristics have been applied to a large suite of problem domains usually in the form of single-objective optimisation, we suggest an alternative approach for solving the patrol scheduling problem with two …
