Robust shortest path

Description
Determine the shortest path through a road network subject to uncertain travel times caused by road works (formulated as a 'cardinality' uncertainty set).

Further explanation of this example: Whitepaper 'Robust Optimization with Xpress', Section 2 Robust shortest path
