Abstract(in English) To realize effective posting process of posters in public office elections, we have already proposed the Posting Poster Problem for Public Office Election. The objective function of this problem is to find the shortest total route distance of vehicles when we use multiple vehicles to post posters. However, it has been found that if we focus on minimizing the total route distance, the route distances of the vehicles are unbalanced. Therefore, in this report, we changed our strategy by introducing the min-max type objective function: we minimized the length of the longest route of vehicles to reduce obtain balanced route length of the vehicles. In addition, we proposed a local search method for sloving this problem. Results of numerical experiments show that it is possible to construct balanced routes by changing the strategy.
