The following terms are important to understand the whole use case. Appointment A sequence of tasks, scheduled to be executed respecting a specific time slot. Break A scheduled pause in a driver's or vehicle's operation, typically for rest, refueling, …
Constraints and Rules
/en/documentation/route-optimization-optiflow-api/concepts/constraints-and-rules
Constraints and rules play a crucial role in establishing relationships between various entities like vehicles, orders, tasks, and depots within the optimization process. They define specific limitations or conditional modifications that need to be taken …
Routes
/en/documentation/route-optimization-optiflow-api/concepts/routes
The primary objective of the optimization is to effectively allocate tasks to routes. As such, a route is a sequence of tasks, assigned to a vehicle. The efficiency of routes is gauged by metrics such as the total drive duration, the count of scheduled …
Depots
/en/documentation/route-optimization-optiflow-api/concepts/depots
When an optimization needs to schedule the execution of pickup or delivery orders, the delivery (resp. pickup) task needs to be executed at a depot. Therefore, at least one depot needs to be specified when the optimization request contains pickup or …
Orders
/en/documentation/route-optimization-optiflow-api/concepts/orders
An order is a request to transport goods consisting of a pickup and a delivery task. The main goal of the optimization is to effectively schedule these tasks onto routes. We differentiate among three types of orders based on whether the pickup or delivery …
Vehicles
/en/documentation/route-optimization-optiflow-api/concepts/vehicles
Without a vehicle, nothing can be transported. This is why an optimization request is required to contain at least one vehicle. They can be customized in various ways by specifying a routing profile, enforcing constraints and defining costs. While vehicle …
Locations
/en/documentation/route-optimization-optiflow-api/concepts/locations
Locations play a crucial role in efficient route planning, directly impacting travel efficiency and resource utilization. They represent geographical points, encompassing a variety of destinations. Places where orders are picked up or delivered. This can …
Optimization
/en/documentation/route-optimization-optiflow-api/concepts/optimization
The optimization process involves refining a solution through repeated cycles of continuous improvement . The algorithm starts by generating initial routes or reconstructing the routes provided in the input . After which, through a series of iterations, …
Quick Start - Route Optimization OptiFlow API
/en/documentation/route-optimization-optiflow-api/quick-start-route-optimization-optiflow-api
With the Route Optimization OptiFlow API, you can efficiently schedule the pickup and delivery of your orders onto routes and assign these routes to the most suitable vehicles of your fleet. Optimization is a long lasting progress that will gradually …
