UseCase: Optimisation question

[krzysiek mbis]

Let say that we have:
1. 100 vehicle geopositions.
2. 120 shipping points (also with geoposition)
We want to assign 1 shipping point to each vehicle in kilometre optimisation matter.
Is there a way to do so using xTour or any other PTV procuct ?

Hello Krzysiek,

sounds like we need more details about the story:

• would you like to find the closest vehicle for each shipping position? Calculate the distance matrix [each vehicle]x[each shipping]. Use xRoute for that.
• or the best assignment of all shippings to the fleet as a whole? Use xTour and model all your constraints.

As this is a very specific usecase I recommend to get in touch with your partner manager one2one (me??) via email.

Best regards,
Bernd

The goal is to have the best assignment of all shippings to the fleet as a whole. Total kilometre suppouse to be as small as possible (for whole fleet).

P.S.
OK, next will be via emial.

Here's a screenshopt from a test client I built for that story. I labelled it "xLotocki". Let me know if we should look into this together.

blue trucks: known last (x,y) of the fleet
pins: available transport orders (green=pickup, red=delivery)
