InsertCost in findToursForUnscheduledOrder

Post by Clement.Sorriaux »

Hello,

We would like to know how the insertCost is calculated.

The insertion will always generate more kilometer and time which will also generate a cost.
But how is this cost (insertCost) calculated ? Are the kilometer and time the only parameters which can impact the insertCost ?
Can we get a detailed explanation please ?

thanks in advance,
Best regards
Clément

Hello Clement,

look at the attached screenshot.It is based on 10 exsting input tours.
By inserting the new order at this position in this tour we have to drive 3 km more than before. <br />Based on the cost properties of a vehicle 3km means 3km * ([cost/km])

Here are the cost properties of the vehicle

So each line in this grid represents a potential vehicle accepting the insertion, specifying the insertion position, the additional distance and period and the costs.

Does this answer your question?

Best regards

PS: the first proposal is based on creating a new tour.
