You should run your selection hyper-heuristic implemented as part of your project to solve an unseen instance of the Open-top Bus Routing problem.

You should have already downloaded the unseen instance as part of the "Files required for practical test" archive. Locate the file "unseen-instance.obr" inside the instances folder and import it into your project, updating your code as required by your design so you can run your hyper-heuristic on this new instance.

You should run your hyper-heuristic on the unseen instance using:

  • The RANDOM initialisation method.
  • A runtime of 5 nominal minutes as benchmarked - either as done yourself if using your own machine or using that given on Moodle if using a lab machine.
  • A single trial where your experimental seed is set to 20260508L.

 After running your hyper-heuristic, report only the objective value of the best solution found below.

Warning: do not be tempted to enter an arbitrarily small value that is not a result of running your hyper-heuristic. Doing so constitutes academic misconduct under section "2.2.5   Fabrication or misrepresentation" of the policy. Anyone entering values which are less than the known lower bound may be asked to explain their result and risks invalidating their grade in part or in whole for this assessment.
