משימות ניתוב נפוצות

בחלקים הבאים מוסבר איך לבצע כמה משימות נפוצות שקשורות לפתרון בעיות בניתוב כלי רכב.

מגבלות החיפוש

פתרון בעיות במסלולים של רכבים במיקומים רבים עשוי להימשך זמן רב. לבעיות כאלה כדאי להגדיר הגבלת חיפוש, שמסתיימת את החיפוש אחרי פרק זמן ספציפי או כשמספר הפתרונות שהוחזרו.

מגבלות זמן

הדוגמאות הבאות מראות איך להגדיר מגבלת זמן של 30 שניות לחיפוש.

Python

search_parameters = pywrapcp.DefaultRoutingSearchParameters()
search_parameters.time_limit.seconds = 30

C++‎

RoutingSearchParameters searchParameters = DefaultRoutingSearchParameters();
searchParameters.mutable_time_limit()->set_seconds(30);

Java

מוסיפים את ה'ייבוא' הבא בתחילת התוכנית:
import com.google.protobuf.Duration;
לאחר מכן מגדירים את פרמטרי החיפוש באופן הבא:
RoutingSearchParameters searchParameters =
        main.defaultRoutingSearchParameters()
            .toBuilder()
            .setTimeLimit(Duration.newBuilder().setSeconds(30).build())
            .build();

C#‎

מוסיפים את השורה הבאה בתחילת התוכנית:

using Google.Protobuf.WellKnownTypes; // Duration
לאחר מכן מגדירים את הפרמטרים לחיפוש באופן הבא:
RoutingSearchParameters searchParameters =
  operations_research_constraint_solver.DefaultRoutingSearchParameters();
searchParameters.TimeLimit = new Duration { Seconds = 10 };

במאמר שינוי שיטת החיפוש מוצגת דוגמה להגבלת זמן.

מגבלות על פתרונות

בדוגמאות הבאות אפשר לראות איך מגדירים מגבלת פתרון של 100 שאילתות לחיפוש.

Python

search_parameters = pywrapcp.DefaultRoutingSearchParameters()
search_parameters.solution_limit = 100

C++‎

RoutingSearchParameters searchParameters = DefaultRoutingSearchParameters();
searchParameters.set_solution_limit(100);

Java

RoutingSearchParameters searchParameters =
        main.defaultRoutingSearchParameters()
            .toBuilder()
            .setSolutionLimit(100)
            .build();

C#‎

RoutingSearchParameters searchParameters =
  operations_research_constraint_solver.DefaultRoutingSearchParameters();
searchParameters.SolutionLimit(100);

במקרים מסוימים, כדאי לציין קבוצה של מסלולים ראשוניים ל-VRP, במקום לתת לפותר הבעיות למצוא פתרון ראשוני. לדוגמה, אם כבר מצאתם פתרון טוב לבעיה וברצונכם להשתמש בה כנקודת התחלה לפתרון בעיות ששונו.

כך יוצרים את המסלולים הראשוניים:

  1. צריך להגדיר מערך שמכיל את המסלולים הראשוניים.
  2. יוצרים את הפתרון הראשוני בשיטה ReadAssignmentFromRoutes.

הקוד הבא מגדיר את המסלולים הראשוניים בנתונים.

Python

    data["initial_routes"] = [
        # fmt: off
      [8, 16, 14, 13, 12, 11],
      [3, 4, 9, 10],
      [15, 1],
      [7, 5, 2, 6],
        # fmt: on
    ]

C++‎

  const std::vector<std::vector<int64_t>> initial_routes{
      {8, 16, 14, 13, 12, 11},
      {3, 4, 9, 10},
      {15, 1},
      {7, 5, 2, 6},
  };

Java

    public final long[][] initialRoutes = {
        {8, 16, 14, 13, 12, 11},
        {3, 4, 9, 10},
        {15, 1},
        {7, 5, 2, 6},
    };

C#‎

        public long[][] InitialRoutes = {
            new long[] { 8, 16, 14, 13, 12, 11 },
            new long[] { 3, 4, 9, 10 },
            new long[] { 15, 1 },
            new long[] { 7, 5, 2, 6 },
        };

הקוד הבא יוצר את הפתרון הראשוני מהמסלולים, ולאחר מכן מבצע חיפוש החל מהפתרון הראשוני.

התוכנית מציגה גם את הפתרון הראשוני וגם את הפתרון שנמצא בחיפוש.

Python

    initial_solution = routing.ReadAssignmentFromRoutes(data["initial_routes"], True)
    print("Initial solution:")
    print_solution(data, manager, routing, initial_solution)

C++‎

  const Assignment* initial_solution =
      routing.ReadAssignmentFromRoutes(data.initial_routes, true);
  // Print initial solution on console.
  LOG(INFO) << "Initial solution: ";
  PrintSolution(data, manager, routing, *initial_solution);

Java

    Assignment initialSolution = routing.readAssignmentFromRoutes(data.initialRoutes, true);
    logger.info("Initial solution:");
    printSolution(data, routing, manager, initialSolution);

C#‎

        Assignment initialSolution = routing.ReadAssignmentFromRoutes(data.InitialRoutes, true);
        // Print initial solution on console.
        Console.WriteLine("Initial solution:");
        PrintSolution(data, routing, manager, initialSolution);

כשמוסיפים את הקוד לתוכנית ה-VRP הקודמת ומריצים את התוכנית, מוצג הפלט הבא:

Initial solution:
Route for vehicle 0:
 0 ->  8 ->  16 ->  14 ->  13 ->  12 ->  11 -> 0
Distance of the route: 2168m

Route for vehicle 1:
 0 ->  3 ->  4 ->  9 ->  10 -> 0
Distance of the route: 2464m

Route for vehicle 2:
 0 ->  15 ->  1 -> 0
Distance of the route: 2192m

Route for vehicle 3:
 0 ->  7 ->  5 ->  2 ->  6 -> 0
Distance of the route: 1780m

Maximum of the route distances: 2464m

Solution after search:

Route for vehicle 0:
 0 ->  9 ->  10 ->  16 ->  14 -> 0
Distance of the route: 1552m

Route for vehicle 1:
 0 ->  12 ->  11 ->  15 ->  13 -> 0
Distance of the route: 1552

Route for vehicle 2:
 0 ->  3 ->  4 ->  1 ->  7 -> 0
Distance of the route: 1552

Route for vehicle 3:
 0 ->  5 ->  2 ->  6 ->  8 -> 0
Distance of the route: 1552

Maximum of the route distances: 1552

הגדרת מיקומי התחלה וסיום לנתיבים

עד עכשיו הנחנו שכל כלי הרכב מתחילים ומסתיימים במיקום אחד, מרכז התחבורה. תוכלו גם להגדיר מיקומי התחלה וסיום שונים לכל רכב בבעיה. לשם כך, צריך להעביר שני וקטורים שמכילים את האינדקסים של מיקומי ההתחלה והסיום כערכי קלט לשיטה RoutingModel בפונקציה הראשית. כך יוצרים את הווקטורים של ההתחלה והסיום בקטע הנתונים של התוכנית:

Python

    data["starts"] = [1, 2, 15, 16]
    data["ends"] = [0, 0, 0, 0]

C++‎

  const std::vector<RoutingIndexManager::NodeIndex> starts{
      RoutingIndexManager::NodeIndex{1},
      RoutingIndexManager::NodeIndex{2},
      RoutingIndexManager::NodeIndex{15},
      RoutingIndexManager::NodeIndex{16},
  };
  const std::vector<RoutingIndexManager::NodeIndex> ends{
      RoutingIndexManager::NodeIndex{0},
      RoutingIndexManager::NodeIndex{0},
      RoutingIndexManager::NodeIndex{0},
      RoutingIndexManager::NodeIndex{0},
  };

Java

    public final int[] starts = {1, 2, 15, 16};
    public final int[] ends = {0, 0, 0, 0};

C#‎

        public int[] Starts = { 1, 2, 15, 16 };
        public int[] Ends = { 0, 0, 0, 0 };

אלו הן התוכניות שמגדירות את מיקומי ההתחלה והסיום בצורה הזו.

 1 -> 4 -> 3 -> 7 -> 0
Distance of the route: 1004m

Route for vehicle 1:

Total distance of all routes: 3994m

המרחק הכולל קצר יותר מהדוגמה הקודמת, כי הרכבים לא נדרשים להפעיל או לסיים בתחנת הדלק.

מתן הרשאה למיקומי התחלה וסיום שרירותיים

בגרסאות אחרות של הבעיה בניתוב הרכב, כלי הרכב מורשים לפעול ולהסתיים במיקומים שרירותיים. כדי להגדיר את הבעיה בדרך זו, פשוט משנים את מטריצת המרחק כך שהמרחק מהמאגר למיקום אחר יהיה 0, על ידי הגדרת השורה והעמודה הראשונה של המטריצה כך שיהיו אפסים. כך המאגר הופך למיקום דמה שאין לו השפעה על המסלולים האופטימליים.

בדוגמה הזו, מטריצת המרחק מהדוגמה של VRP שונתה כך שהיא יוצרת את המרחק ממאגר הנתונים לכל שאר הצמתים 0.
