OLIVEIRA, José António et al. Decision Support System for Not Urgent Transportation of Patients in Shared Vehicle. RISTI [online]. 2014, n.13, pp.17-33. ISSN 1646-9895.  https://doi.org/10.4304/risti.13.17-33.

The non-emergency patient transport service in Portugal was targeted by legislative reforms aiming to reduce costs. This paper presents heuristic methods for grouping patients to be transported in the same vehicle. The computational results are presented and validate the developed algorithms. These algorithms can be easily integrated into a decision support system.
