Warning

Possible server crash

  • These functions might create a server crash

Warning

Experimental functions

  • They are not officially of the current release.
  • They likely will not be officially be part of the next release:
    • The functions might not make use of ANY-INTEGER and ANY-NUMERICAL
    • Name might change.
    • Signature might change.
    • Functionality might change.
    • pgTap tests might be missing.
    • Might need c/c++ coding.
    • May lack documentation.
    • Documentation if any might need to be rewritten.
    • Documentation examples might need to be automatically generated.
    • Might need a lot of feedback from the comunity.
    • Might depend on a proposed function of pgRouting
    • Might depend on a deprecated function of pgRouting

Availability

  • Version 3.0.0
    • New experimental function

Synopsis

Problem: Distribute and optimize the pickup-delivery pairs into a fleet of vehicles.

  • Optimization problem is NP-hard.
  • pickup and Delivery with time windows.
  • All vehicles are equal.
    • Same Starting location.
    • Same Ending location which is the same as Starting location.
    • All vehicles travel at the same speed.
  • A customer is for doing a pickup or doing a deliver.
    • has an open time.
    • has a closing time.
    • has a service time.
    • has an (x, y) location.
  • There is a customer where to deliver a pickup.
    • travel time between customers is distance / speed
    • pickup and delivery pair is done with the same vehicle.
    • A pickup is done before the delivery.

Characteristics

  • All trucks depart at time 0.
  • No multiple time windows for a location.
  • Less vehicle used is considered better.
  • Less total duration is better.
  • Less wait time is better.
  • the algorithm will raise an exception when
    • If there is a pickup-deliver pair than violates time window
    • The speed, max_cycles, ma_capacity have illegal values
  • Six different initial will be optimized - the best solution found will be result

Signature

pgr_pickDeliver(orders_sql, vehicles_sql, matrix_sql [, factor, max_cycles, initial_sol])
RETURNS SET OF (seq, vehicle_number, vehicle_id, stop, order_id, stop_type, cargo,
                travel_time, arrival_time, wait_time, service_time, departure_time)

Parameters

The parameters are:

orders_sql, vehicles_sql, matrix_sql [, factor, max_cycles, initial_sol]
Column Type Default Description
orders_sql TEXT   Pick & Deliver Orders SQL query contianing the orders to be processed.
vehicles_sql TEXT   Pick & Deliver Vehicles SQL query containing the vehicles to be used.
matrix_sql TEXT   Pick & Deliver Matrix SQL query containing the distance or travel times.
factor NUMERIC 1 Travel time multiplier. See Factor Handling
max_cycles INTEGER 10 Maximum number of cycles to perform on the optimization.
initial_sol INTEGER 4

Initial solution to be used.

  • 1 One order per truck
  • 2 Push front order.
  • 3 Push back order.
  • 4 Optimize insert.
  • 5 Push back order that allows more orders to be inserted at the back
  • 6 Push front order that allows more orders to be inserted at the front

Pick & Deliver Orders SQL

A SELECT statement that returns the following columns:

id, demand
p_node_id, p_open, p_close, [p_service, ]
d_node_id, d_open, d_close, [d_service, ]

where:

Column Type Default Description
id ANY-INTEGER   Identifier of the pick-delivery order pair.
demand ANY-NUMERICAL   Number of units in the order
p_open ANY-NUMERICAL   The time, relative to 0, when the pickup location opens.
p_close ANY-NUMERICAL   The time, relative to 0, when the pickup location closes.
d_service ANY-NUMERICAL 0 The duration of the loading at the pickup location.
d_open ANY-NUMERICAL   The time, relative to 0, when the delivery location opens.
d_close ANY-NUMERICAL   The time, relative to 0, when the delivery location closes.
d_service ANY-NUMERICAL 0 The duration of the loading at the delivery location.

For the non euclidean implementation, the starting and ending identifiers are needed:

Column Type Description
p_node_id ANY-INTEGER The node identifier of the pickup, must match a node identifier in the matrix table.
d_node_id ANY-INTEGER The node identifier of the delivery, must match a node identifier in the matrix table.

Pick & Deliver Vehicles SQL

A SELECT statement that returns the following columns:

id, capacity
start_node_id, start_open, start_close [, start_service, ]
[ end_node_id, end_open, end_close, end_service ]

where:

Column Type Default Description
id ANY-INTEGER   Identifier of the pick-delivery order pair.
capacity ANY-NUMERICAL   Number of units in the order
speed ANY-NUMERICAL 1 Average speed of the vehicle.
start_open ANY-NUMERICAL   The time, relative to 0, when the starting location opens.
start_close ANY-NUMERICAL   The time, relative to 0, when the starting location closes.
start_service ANY-NUMERICAL 0 The duration of the loading at the starting location.
end_open ANY-NUMERICAL start_open The time, relative to 0, when the ending location opens.
end_close ANY-NUMERICAL start_close The time, relative to 0, when the ending location closes.
end_service ANY-NUMERICAL start_service The duration of the loading at the ending location.

For the non euclidean implementation, the starting and ending identifiers are needed:

Column Type Default Description
start_node_id ANY-INTEGER   The node identifier of the starting location, must match a node identifier in the matrix table.
end_node_id ANY-INTEGER start_node_id The node identifier of the ending location, must match a node identifier in the matrix table.

Pick & Deliver Matrix SQL

A SELECT statement that returns the following columns:

Warning

TODO

Where:

ANY-INTEGER:SMALLINT, INTEGER, BIGINT
ANY-NUMERICAL:SMALLINT, INTEGER, BIGINT, REAL, FLOAT
