EarlyBuffer

DU

 

O

The EarlyBuffer, in conjunction with the LateBuffer and PenaltyCost, is used to create Soft Time Windows. The Early Buffer applies a buffer, noted in hours, to the Time Windows. A buffer set to half-an-hour (.5) would stretch the front of the Time Windows by a half-an-hour. (I.e.: Time Windows of 07:00-11:00 would actually be computed as 06:30-11:00). When a stop uses the offered buffer, a penalty cost can be applied, as laid out in the PenaltyCost Field

 PT1H25M30S

LateBuffer

DU

 

O

The LateBuffer, in conjunction with EarlyBuffer and PenaltyCost, is used to create Soft Time Windows. Late Buffer applies a buffer, noted in house, to the Time Windows. A buffer set to half-an-hour (.5) would stretch the back of the Time Windows by 30 minutes (I.e.: Time Windows of 07:00-11:00 would actually be computed as 07:00-11:30). When a stop uses the offered buffer, a penalty cost can be applied, as laid out in the PenaltyCost Field

 PT2H

PenaltyCost

N

 

O

The PenaltyCost column, used in conjunction with EarlyBuffer and LateBuffer, is used to apply a penalty to stops that use the buffers; penalty cost, applied in Cost per Hour. Penalty Cost is used to calculate not only penalty charges for a stop using the buffer, but also during optimization. DRTrack will attempt to move a stop with a penalty cost to another route, eliminating the penalty.
