I'm customizing provided Optaplanner VRP example to my needs.
I'm stuck with the Vehicle Capacity problem.
Capacity = Maximum hours available to a vehicle in a day(X hours)
Overview -
Vehicles need to be scheduled for Time Windowed Customers.
We have customer orders from Monday to Friday. Currently I'm inputting the whole week data and letting the algorithm schedule.
Problem with this approach - Vechicle's capacity = X * 5(days) hours.
Over the week Vehicles have X * 5 hrs, but vehicles are constrained to use at max X hrs in a day. With this approach Optaplanner assumes it has X * 5 hrs as Vehicle capacity and schedule Vehicles accordingly.
- How to constrain vehicle to use at max X hrs in a day? or
- How to schedule on day to day basis? or
- How to reset the Capacity when the next day starts? (Every day vehicles will have X hrs to start with)
Any insights to solve would be highly appreciated.
