Both Capacity and Time windows Solver

[walterwootz]

I just discovered this awesome tool and I'm starting to use it in logistic domain, nevertheless, in many logistic routing problems both capacity and time windows are crucial constraints.

Do you have (or plan to) a use case that mixes both capacity and time windows solver? Is there a way to do it using the library?

Thank you!

Thanks for your interest in Timefold! You should be able to get what you need by combining these two quickstarts:

https://github.com/TimefoldAI/timefold-quickstarts/tree/stable/use-cases/vehicle-routing-capacity
https://github.com/TimefoldAI/timefold-quickstarts/tree/stable/use-cases/vehicle-routing-time-windows

We may decide to merge them one day, but there are no short-term plans to do it.

Ok thank you for the answer, I would appreciate a quick instruction on how to accomplish that, one day.

Step 1: Take a look at the code
Step 2: Add the capacity constraint to the time windows quickstart

The only way to accomplish it, is to give it a try :)

I was able to achieve the goal successfully with just a few steps, following the documentation. Really simple. Many thanks!
