We're excited to share that we are moving forward. We're leaving behind the LocalSolver brand and transitioning to our new identity: Hexaly. This represents a leap forward in our mission to enable every organization to make better decisions faster when faced with operational and strategic challenges.

This page is for an old version of Hexaly Optimizer. We recommend that you update your version and read the documentation for the latest stable release.

Pick-up and delivery with time windows¶

Principles learned¶

  • Add multiple list decision variables
  • Use a lambda expression to define a recursive array
  • Define a sequence of expressions
  • Use of “contains” and “indexOf” operators

Problem¶

../_images/pdp.png

In the pickup-and-delivery problem with tiwe-windows (PDPTW), a fleet of delivery vehicles with uniform capacity must collect and deliver items according to the demand of customers, and must do so during their opening hours. The vehicles start and end their routes at a common depot. Each customer can only be served by one vehicle. The objectives are to minimize the fleet size and to assign a sequence of customers to each truck of the fleet minimizing the total distance traveled such that each item is picked up then delivered by the same vehicle, and the capacity of the truck is respected at any point in the tour.

Data¶

The instances provided come from the Li & Lim instances.

The format of the data files is as follows:

  • The first line gives the number of vehicules, the capacity and the speed (not used)

  • From the 2nd line, each line contains the integer data associated to each customer, starting with the depot.

    • The index of the customer
    • The x coordinate
    • The y coordinate
    • The demand
    • The earliest arrival
    • The latest arrival
    • The service time
    • The index of the corresponding pickup order (0 if the order is a delivery)
    • The index of the corresponding delivery order (0 if the order is a pickup).

Program¶

The LocalSolver model is an extension of the CVRPTW model. We refer the reader to this model for the routing and the time-windows aspects of the problem.

The situation of the pickup-and-delivery problem induces three new constraints:

  • Each pickup/delivery pair must be assigned to the same tour
  • Within this tour, the pickup cannot be visited after the delivery (we cannot deliver an item that has not been picked up yet)
  • The weight of the truck will vary along the tour (increasing upon pickups and decreasing upon deliveries) and the capacity constraint must be satisfied at any time during the tour.

Considering each list in the LocalSolver model, the first requirement for a pickup/delivery pair (a,b) means that either a and b both belong to the list or none of them belongs to the list. Literally it means that contains(sequence[k], a) == contains(sequence[k], b).

As for the ordering of the pair within the list, it is related to the position of a and b within the list, which can be obtained with the indexOf operator: constraint indexOf(sequence[k], a) <= indexOf(sequence[k], b). Note that indexOf takes values -1 when searching for an item that is not contained in the list. Consequently writing a strict inequality on this constraint would be an error because it would not allow both items to be outside of the list.

As mentioned above, the last specificity is that the capacity constraint must now be checked after each visit. To do this, we need to define the weight after a visit as the weight before the visit plus the weight of the current item (positive if loaded, negative if delivered).

The objectives are the same as for the CVRTW problem: we minimize the total lateness, the number of trucks used, and the total distance traveled by all the trucks.
