The Stochastic Close‐Enough Arc Routing Problem is a challenging problem where utility companies seek for a minimum‐cost tour in order to collect meter consumption remotely. The stochasticity lies in the uncertainty of collecting data due to failed transmissions. In this article, we propose a mathematical formulation for this problem. We introduce some preprocessing properties, develop an exact method and several heuristics. Computational results from experiments are presented and analyzed. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
