• All the delivery orders for the day. A delivery order includes a unique identifier, name and address of the client (delivery point), the quantity of the goods to be delivered and desired time of delivery
• List of available vehicles that will be used for delivery. For each type of the vehicle the following information is needed:
  1. Maximum load
  2. Limitations on the number of delivery points that can be visited during the day
  3. Maximum allowed mileage for the day

  1. Limitations on maximum mileage in one delivery run, maximum number of delivery points visited in one delivery run and maximum allowed time for one delivery run.
  2. The time for each delivery run is calculated based on the mileage, average speed and time necessary to unload the products at the point of delivery
  3. The time the client expects the products to be delivered
  4. It is assumed that all the products are being delivered from the same warehouse
