Abstract

Hunsaker and Savelsbergh [B. Hunsaker, M.W.P. Savelsbergh, Efficient feasibility testing for dial-a-ride problems, Operations Research Letters 30 (2002) 169-173.] developed a linear-time algorithm to verify the feasibility for dial-a-ride problems. However, this algorithm may incorrectly declare infeasibility due to ride time constraints in some cases. We propose a revised procedure to address this flaw, but in an O(n^2) worst-case time.
