LegalFarePlan: A Label-Setting Framework for Fare-Transparent Urban Rail Route Planning under Non-Additive Fare Rules

arXiv:2607. 09755v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Urban rail fare systems may be non-additive: the fare of a single paid journey from an origin to a destination can differ from the sum of fares over multiple legally separated journey legs.

TravelEval: A Comprehensive Benchmarking Framework for Evaluating LLM-Powered Travel Planning Agents

arXiv:2606. 01046v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The development of Large Language Models (LLMs) has significantly improved travel planning applications, yet evaluating such models is limited by existing benchmarks' limitations: 1) overemphasis on constraint compliance, neglecting multi-dimensional qualities like spatio-temporal cost; 2) datasets lacking real-world authenticity and coverage in key areas (e.

Counterfactual Routing Using Integer Programming with Constraint Generation

The paper "Counterfactual Routing Using Integer Programming with Constraint Generation" presents a solution to the IJCAI 2025 Counterfactual Routing Competition. The authors model the problem as an integer program and iteratively add constraints until an exact solution is found. In evaluation on held‑out test instances, their method ranked fourth in solution quality and was the fastest, averaging 9.0 seconds versus 118.8 seconds for the next‑fastest submission.

Customizable and Jointly Optimized Route Planning: A Deep Architecture Enabling Differentiable Shortest-Path Search

The paper introduces a deep architecture that jointly optimizes cost functions and a route-ranking model to accommodate diverse user preferences in route planning. It first generates a complete set of Pareto‑optimal routes using a multi‑objective Dijkstra algorithm, then employs a neural network that emulates shortest‑path search and ranking in an end‑to‑end differentiable framework. A novel loss function treats route preference as a constrained optimization problem, allowing a single objective to be optimized while other attributes remain constrained, and experiments on real‑world data show significant improvements over existing methods.
