We investigate the value of choosing the next stop to visit in a multistop trip based on current traffic conditions to minimize the expected total travel time of the tour. We model this problem as a Markov decision process. Numerical examples are presented that indicate that the value of using current traffic information for dynamic tour determination can be significant.
