It may be useful to set a hard limit on the maximum duration of a route for a vehicle. For example, if the vehicle or vehicle driver has a limited availability. This limit can be set via the max_duration feature on vehicles. The duration is given in seconds.
Please note that the max_duration includes any time spent traveling, waiting at stops, and servicing them.
When defining start_time and end_time on a vehicle there is a time duration defined by end_time - start_time. The route duration is limited by the most constrained duration between end_time - start_time and max_duration.
Here is an example defining different maximum durations for vehicles. A sample output obtained after solving the problem is also shown.
