Rzuty karne i upuszczanie

W tej sekcji wyjaśniamy, jak rozwiązywać problemy z routingiem, które nie są możliwe do rozwiązania z powodu ograniczeń. Jeśli na przykład otrzymujesz VRP z ograniczeniami pojemności, w przypadku którego całkowity popyt we wszystkich lokalizacjach przekracza łączną pojemność pojazdów, nie ma rozwiązania. W takich przypadkach pojazdy muszą odbierać wizyty w niektórych lokalizacjach. Problemem jest określenie, które wizyty należy porzucić.

Aby rozwiązać ten problem, wprowadzamy we wszystkich lokalizacjach nowe koszty – karne. Za każdym razem, gdy ktoś zrezygnuje z wizyty w danym miejscu, nakładamy karę na całkowitą pokonaną odległość. Narzędzie do rozwiązywania problemów znajduje trasę, która minimalizuje całkowitą odległość oraz sumę kar na wszystkie porzucone lokalizacje.

Weźmy za przykład prostą platformę VRP z ograniczeniami wynikającymi z poniższego wykresu, w której liczba obok trzech lokalizacji (innych niż magazyn) to żądania.

Załóżmy, że tylko jeden pojazd ma pojemność 50. Nie może odwiedzać wszystkich trzech lokalizacji, A, B i C, ponieważ całkowite zapotrzebowanie wynosi 60. Aby rozwiązać ten problem, musisz nałożyć dużą karę – np. „100” – na każdą lokalizację. Po wykryciu, że problem jest niemożliwy, narzędzie rozwiązuje problem z lokalizacją B i zwraca tę trasę: Depot -> A -> C -> Depot

To najkrótsza trasa odwiedzająca 2 z 3 lokalizacji (55 km).

Rozmiary karne

W powyższym przykładzie wybraliśmy kary większe niż suma wszystkich odległości między lokalizacjami (z wyjątkiem zajezdni). W rezultacie po uprzednim usunięciu jednej lokalizacji, aby rozwiązać problem, użytkownik nie usuwa żadnych dodatkowych lokalizacji, ponieważ nałożenie kary za to przekroczenie powoduje skutkowanie dalszego zmniejszenia odległości.

Zakładając, że chcesz zrealizować tyle wyświetleń, ile potrzebujesz, stanowi to satysfakcjonujące rozwiązanie.

Jeśli nie chcesz dostarczać jak największej liczby wyświetleń, możesz przypisać mniejsze kary. W takim przypadku rozwiązanie może zmniejszyć liczbę lokalizacji tak, by było to możliwe. Możesz to zrobić na przykład wtedy, gdy wizytę w danym miejscu wiążą się z dodatkowymi kosztami, przekraczającymi podstawowy koszt podróży.

Przykład

Następnie przedstawiamy większy przykład VRP, który można rozwiązać, nakładając kary. Ten przykład jest podobny do poprzedniego przykładu ze standardem CVRP, ale tym razem zwiększyliśmy część żądań, co zmusiło niektóre pojazdy do zmniejszenia liczby wizyt.

Wykres lokalizacji i nowych żądań znajduje się poniżej.

Rozwiązywanie przykładu za pomocą narzędzi LUB

W poniższych sekcjach znajdziesz informacje o tym, jak rozwiązać ten problem za pomocą narzędzi LUB.

Tworzenie danych

Dane w tym przykładzie obejmują dane z poprzedniego przykładu zastosowania VRP oraz dodają następujące żądania i możliwości:

Python

    data["demands"] = [0, 1, 1, 3, 6, 3, 6, 8, 8, 1, 2, 1, 2, 6, 6, 8, 8]
    data["vehicle_capacities"] = [15, 15, 15, 15]

C++

  const std::vector<int64_t> demands{
      0, 1, 1, 3, 6, 3, 6, 8, 8, 1, 2, 1, 2, 6, 6, 8, 8,
  };
  const std::vector<int64_t> vehicle_capacities{15, 15, 15, 15};

Java

    public final long[] demands = {0, 1, 1, 3, 6, 3, 6, 8, 8, 1, 2, 1, 2, 6, 6, 8, 8};
    public final long[] vehicleCapacities = {15, 15, 15, 15};

C#

        public long[] Demands = { 0, 1, 1, 3, 6, 3, 6, 8, 8, 1, 2, 1, 2, 6, 6, 8, 8 };
        public long[] VehicleCapacities = { 15, 15, 15, 15 };

Dodaj ograniczenia i ograniczenia związane z wydajnością

Ten kod dodaje ograniczenia wywołań zwrotnych i ograniczeń przepustowości oraz nakłada kary za pomocą metody AddDisjunction.

Python

    def demand_callback(from_index):
        """Returns the demand of the node."""
        # Convert from routing variable Index to demands NodeIndex.
        from_node = manager.IndexToNode(from_index)
        return data["demands"][from_node]

    demand_callback_index = routing.RegisterUnaryTransitCallback(demand_callback)

        True,  # start cumul to zero

    )

    penalty = 1000
    for node in range(1, len(data["distance_matrix"])):
        routing.AddDisjunction([manager.NodeToIndex(node)], penalty)

C++

  const int demand_callback_index = routing.RegisterUnaryTransitCallback(
      [&data, &manager](const int64_t from_index) -> int64_t {
        // Convert from routing variable Index to demand NodeIndex.
        const int from_node = manager.IndexToNode(from_index).value();
        return data.demands[from_node];
      });
  routing.AddDimensionWithVehicleCapacity(
      demand_callback_index,    // transit callback index
      int64_t{0},               // null capacity slack
      data.vehicle_capacities,  // vehicle maximum capacities
      true,                     // start cumul to zero
      "Capacity");
  // Allow to drop nodes.
  int64_t penalty{1000};
  for (int i = 1; i < data.distance_matrix.size(); ++i) {
    routing.AddDisjunction(
        {manager.NodeToIndex(RoutingIndexManager::NodeIndex(i))}, penalty);
  }

Java

    final int demandCallbackIndex = routing.registerUnaryTransitCallback((long fromIndex) -> {
      // Convert from routing variable Index to user NodeIndex.
      int fromNode = manager.indexToNode(fromIndex);
      return data.demands[fromNode];
    });
    routing.addDimensionWithVehicleCapacity(demandCallbackIndex, 0, // null capacity slack
        data.vehicleCapacities, // vehicle maximum capacities
        true, // start cumul to zero
        "Capacity");
    // Allow to drop nodes.
    long penalty = 1000;
    for (int i = 1; i < data.distanceMatrix.length; ++i) {
      routing.addDisjunction(new long[] {manager.nodeToIndex(i)}, penalty);
    }

C#

        int demandCallbackIndex = routing.RegisterUnaryTransitCallback((long fromIndex) =>
                                                                       {
                                                                           // Convert from routing variable Index to
                                                                           // demand NodeIndex.
                                                                           var fromNode =
                                                                               manager.IndexToNode(fromIndex);
                                                                           return data.Demands[fromNode];
                                                                       });
        routing.AddDimensionWithVehicleCapacity(demandCallbackIndex, 0, // null capacity slack
                                                data.VehicleCapacities, // vehicle maximum capacities
                                                true,                   // start cumul to zero
                                                "Capacity");
        // Allow to drop nodes.
        long penalty = 1000;
        for (int i = 1; i < data.DistanceMatrix.GetLength(0); ++i)
        {
            routing.AddDisjunction(new long[] { manager.NodeToIndex(i) }, penalty);
        }

W tym kontekście dystrybucja to po prostu zmienna, której używa rozstrzygnięcie, aby określić, czy dana lokalizacja ma zostać uwzględniona w rozwiązaniu. W tym przykładzie ta metoda nakłada tę samą karę na każdą lokalizację, ale generalnie możesz dodać różne kary dla różnych lokalizacji.

Dodawanie drukarki rozwiązania

Drukarka opisana poniżej jest podobna do tej w przykładzie CVRP, ale pokazuje też usunięte lokalizacje.
