Abstract
The Dynamic Pickup and Delivery Problem (DPDP) is an essential problem within the logistics domain. So far, research on this problem has mainly focused on using artificial data which fails to reflect the complexity of real-world problems. In this draft, we would like to introduce a new benchmark from real business scenarios as well as a simulator supporting the dynamic evaluation. The benchmark and simulator have been published and successfully supported the ICAPS 2021 Dynamic Pickup and Delivery Problem competition participated by 152 teams.
