Stop balance objective

Info

This feature is configurable via options for both custom and marketplace routing applications. You can find a list of all available features.

The stop balance objective is used to encourage stop balancing of routes. This objective penalizes the longest route in the solution while during search it tries to not make the longest route any longer.

To enable the stop balance objective and set the penalty to, say 1000, you can run with the following option -model.objectives.stopbalance 1000.0. See options for specifying options for both remote and local runs. The higher the penalty, the more the solver will try to balance the stops between vehicles.

For custom apps, you can enable the option in code as follows:

options.Model.Objectives.StopBalance = 1000.0

model, err := factory.NewModel(input, options.Model)
if err != nil {
    return runSchema.Output{}, err
}
