Abstract(in English) After a large-scale disaster followed by a wide-area blackout, telecommunications providers send mobile power supply vehicles to telecommunications exchange buildings to supply power in order to maintain telecommunications services. In order to quickly recover communication services, it is necessary to properly plan the routes of the vehicles that visit multiple communication buildings. However, previous routing methods do not consider the impact on the networks between telecommunications exchange buildings and network users. Therefore, this paper considers routing and network flow simultaneously and formulates a routing problem for mobile power supply vehicles. Furthermore, to optimize the problem efficiently, we propose an optimization method using ant colony optimization. Numerical experiments confirm that the proposed method can efficiently search for paths with a minimum impact on the network.
