Main Scenario Settings
The following four cases may occur:
- The vehicle loaded the day before delivery and will load the next day
- Vehicle loaded the day before delivery and will not load the next day
- Vehicle did not load the day before, so needs to load at the depot and will load for the next day
- Vehicle has not loaded the day before so needs to load at the depot and will not load for the next day
In order to simulate loading for the next day, we need to set up orders in the main scenario for each vehicle for which we want to simulate the crossings. So we set orders with the identifier "everyday*" (always loaded into the scenario when the orders are loaded) with a sequence of 3 on the loading and 4 on the unloading (this ensures that it will be at the last place in the delivery). Loading will be set to the depot and unloading at the vehicle's destination. We also need to set a special marker on both the job and the vehicle to ensure that no other vehicle loads this job.
For occasional simulation of loading at the beginning of a delivery, you need to create a "delivery*" job. This job can then be added classically via the "add delivery" option. We set this job to have a sequence of 2,2 and the value of "stern order" in unloading set to 1. Then just set loading to depot and unloading to virtual.
