Multiple pickups alternatives for the very same delivery

[Michele_QUATTRONE]

Hello community,
In one of my application, i have the choice of multiple possible pick up sites for one delivery, typically 2 or 3. The pickup sites have the same product in stock and are totally equivalent.

I would like to optimize the choice of the best pickup based on the route of the vehicle. That’s is crucial to gain efficiency.

I did not see any explicit mention of this on the API, but maybe someone as already found a solution?

Best,
Michele

Someone is discussing about this feature on the jsprit code. But are this integrated into the API?

How to deal with Shipments with more possible PickupLocations

Thanks a lot @jie31best for you support. I’m getting very close to a general solution. I had to make changes to Shipment class and PickupShipment class and then implemented the PickupLocations interface and the PickupLocationsImpl class just like for TimeWindows. The major changes were done to ShipmentInsertionCalculator.getInsertionData and it seems to work fine. The only thing so far not working as intended is that the solutions aren’t considering the vehicleBuilder.s…

Unfortunately “optional locations” are not yet supported in the Route Optimization API and you’ll have to issue multiple requests as a workaround.
