Abstract

This paper considers the problem of generating personalised routes for people attending music festivals considering time windows. The objective is to maximise the attendees' satisfaction by considering elements such as the desire to see some artists of a festival program, the time windows, and the distance between each stage. The proposed mathematical model determines which artists an attendee should see among the many options a music festival offer. The more satisfied an attendee is, the more readily they will return to the events, improving logistics in musical events. The proposed formulation is based on the well-known orienteering problem with time windows (OPTW). Instances (attendees' preferences) are generated from a specific day of Lollapalooza Chile (2019), a festival with seven stages and 120 artists distributed over three days to test the efficiency of the proposed methodology. The results are prominent considering the diverse type of attendees.
