Hello all, I'm totally new to optaplanner / drools and would like to know
if the following is possible within the framework (I'd mostly likely use
version 6).
I have a VRP where we'd like to consider multiple waste streams
simultaneously (i.e. trash, recycling, food waste, and yard waste). We'd
also like to consider a fleet of split bin trucks (capable of collecting 2
streams at a time but with reduced capacity), single bin trucks, or a
mixture of split and single bin.
So the model would need to allow for a mixture of vehicle types, for nodes
to be visited more than once, and for simultaneous collection to occur in
the case of split bin trucks.
Does this sound like a feasible problem to implement? Would you anticipate
any major or intractable challenges?
Thanks for your advice, I hope I get the chance to start using optaplanner!
