In the solution generated by the optimiser, we have the following notions of times:
Work Time
In the vehicle summary, this is the time between leaving the START stop and arriving at the FINISH stop in a vehicle’s route. A vehicle’s work time is the total time taken to complete the route, while a load’s work time is the total time taken to complete the load.
Site Time
A vehicle’s site time is the sum of all site time incurred over the entire route, while a load’s site time is the sum of all site time incurred during the load.
Load Time
A vehicle’s load time is the sum of all load times incurred over the entire route. If batched loads is enabled, this measure is analogous for each of the vehicle’s loads.
Unload Time
A vehicle’s unload time is the sum of all unload time incurred over the entire route. If batched loads is enabled, this measure is analogous for each of the vehicle’s loads.
Service Time
A vehicle’s service time is the sum of all service time incurred over the entire route. If batched loads is enabled, this measure is analogous for each of the vehicle’s loads.
Idle Time
Idle time (wait time) is incurred by a vehicle if it arrives at a location outside of the location’s time windows or if it arrives outside of the order’s time windows. A vehicle’s idle time is the sum of all idle time incurred over the entire route. If batched loads is enabled, this measure is analogous for each of the vehicle’s loads.
Break Time
Break time is incurred if the vehicle has a fatigue management scheme specified (See Section 2.13). A vehicle’s break time is the sum of all break time incurred over the entire route. If batched loads is enabled, this measure is analogous for each of the vehicle’s loads.
