Problem with shift limits

[magentan0000]

Hello together,

I'm currently working on a project for my university, and I can't figure out the time limit for shifts. Any help would be appreciated.

I tried using "maxDuration" but it won't recognize the limit. Since I'm using an older version (before v1.12.0) I figured I would need to name it "shiftTime". The shift limited is supposed to be 8 hours.

But "shiftTime" produces a lot of unassigned jobs, even tho I have enough vehicles.

I'm a newbie to GitHub so I couldn't figure out how to upload a json file, so here is just an outtake. If you need the whole file, just let me know how to upload it.

{
"typeId": "truckbig",
"vehicleIds": [
"big_1",
"big_2",
"big_3"
],
"profile": {
"matrix": "truck"
},
"costs": {
"fixed": 400.0,
"distance": 0.0005,
"time": 0.00
},
"shifts": [
{
"start": {
"earliest": "2023-06-01T00:00:01Z",
"location": {
"lat": 48.85152,
"lng": 9.1174
}
},
"end": {
"latest": "2023-06-01T23:59:59Z",
"location": {
"lat": 48.85152,
"lng": 9.1174
}
}
}
],
"capacity": [
25000
],
"limits": {
"shiftTime": 28800
}
}

Many thanks in advanced!

Hi, try to drag and drop files on the page as suggested below input field:

I uploaded it as a ZIP

Somehow I don't see the file..
But, I think I know what might be a problem: you rely on departure time optimization which shifts departure to a later time. However, it is lazy and requires some jobs to be assigned first. Maybe try to adjust start time of the vehicle (at the moment, it is at midnight)

Thank you very much, that helped a lot. A combination of later departure time and shift limit worked.

I'm running into a similar problem, where jobs which could be completed if a vehicle left after its earliest departure time don't get routed if the vehicle has a maxDuration limit.

In my case I have jobs spread throughout the day, so moving the earliest departure time forward doesn't really help.
I tried creating duplicate vehicles to represent a range of possible start times, but this led to quite poor results.
