The duration feature is the estimated amount of time in seconds a vehicle needs to service a stop. For example, a vehicle might need less time to service a stop for a ride-sharing scenario than it would for loading large quantities of produce in a sourcing scenario.

Here is an example defining different durations. A sample output obtained after solving the problem is also shown.
