Minimize number of approaches at a site

[Bernd Welter]

Hi there,

One of my partners wants to ensure that count of approaching a site is preferred to be minimized.
We used to apply some additional "parking time" (labelled "site period" in the xServer approach) but is there a dedicated mechanism in place?

Yes, there is a preparationDuration property which can be found under stopProperties of a location. This duration will be applied at the corresponding location before any task can be executed. See https://developer.myptv.com/en/document ... pts/routes for details.

Cheers,
Michael

Hi,

What about using locationGroupId & LocationGroup Penalty ? It is very useful for many cases with the application.

Not accessible yet in the API, but existing in the engine itself.
