Research direction

Start from the vehicle-routing entry points exposing SetArcCostEvaluatorOfVehicle, AddDimensionWithVehicleTransits, AddDimensionWithVehicleCapacity, and AddDimensionWithVehicleTransitAndCapacity. Trace how cost, duration, and capacity inputs are currently represented, then verify that each supports per-vehicle matrices and heterogeneous fleets.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Support different types of vehicles such as walk, bike, car.
Could also be used to model "skill sets" when dispatching employees.

This requires the user to hand us vehicle-class specific

  • cost matrices
  • duration matrices
  • capacities

Implementation:

For Costs:

Use SetArcCostEvaluatorOfVehicle and provide callback on a per-vehicle basis. We now require numVehicle cost matrices from the user.

For Time Dimension:

Use AddDimensionWithVehicleTransits. Takes a vector of transition time evaluators per vehicle for pairs of nodes. Evaluator(i, j) { return ServiceTime(i) + TransitionTime(i, j); }. We now require numVehicle duration matrices from the user.

For Capacity Dimension:

Use AddDimensionWithVehicleCapacity. See explanation above.

For Time and Capacity:

Use AddDimensionWithVehicleTransitAndCapacity. See explanation above.
