milkr_saving {heumilkr}

Vehicle run saving

Description

Measures the saving that was achieved by the heuristic optimization algorithm clarke_wright() compared to the naive vehicle run assignment, i.e. one run per site.

Usage

milkr_saving(solution, relative = FALSE)

Arguments

solution

A "heumilkr_solution" object, typically obtained by clarke_wright().

relative

Should the saving be given as dimensionful value (in units of distance as provided to clarke_wright()), or as percentage relative to the naive costs. Defaults to FALSE, i.e. a dimensionful value.

Value

The savings either as dimensionful value or as percentage relative to the naive costs, depending on relative.

Examples

demand <- c(3, 2, 4, 2)

positions <-
  data.frame(
    pos_x = c(0, 1, -1, 2, 3),
    pos_y = c(0, 1, 1, 2, 3)
  )

solution <- clarke_wright(
  demand,
  dist(positions),
  data.frame(n = NA_integer_, caps = 6)
)

print(milkr_saving(solution))
print(milkr_saving(solution, relative = TRUE))
