The Stochastic Scouting Problem
conference paper
Efficiently scouting talented sports players is of key importance in the commercially oriented sports world. Besides being able to recognize talent, it is important to plan the scouting activities given the available time, in order to maximize the potential for scouting talented players. This problem relates to the orienteering problem. In reality, not only are the times required to travel
between schools and the times required to scout at these schools uncertain, but also the potential of the sports players is yet to be determined by the scout. The approaches found in the literature do not model all these uncertainties simultaneously. Therefore, we will introduce the stochastic version of the scouting planning problem by extending an existing approach to fit the practical features of this problem. We illustrate the benefits of this new approach using a case study
