| Abstract: | In this paper, a problem concerning both the planning of health care services and the routing of vehicles, for patients transportation is addressed. An integrated approach, based on the column generation technique, is proposed to solve the planning and routing problem. Preliminary results on real data show the effectiveness of the proposed approach. |
