<div dir="ltr">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).<div><br></div><div>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.</div>
<div><br></div><div>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.</div><div><br></div><div>
Does this sound like a feasible problem to implement? Would you anticipate any major or intractable challenges?</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks for your advice, I hope I get the chance to start using optaplanner!</div><div>
