A special form of VRPTW #570
Description
Dear support team,
I hope you are doing well. This is the first time I have worked with PyVRP library and I want to solve a special form of the scheduling problem. Let me describe more:
I want to solve a variant of the parallel machine scheduling problem in the presence of setup time and time frame/window. In the paper, this problem can be formulated as a VRPTW with some modifications. The tasks can be assumed as nodes also w.r.t a dummy node as a depot with its associated time and setup equal to zero. What actually I am looking for is how, if possible, I can define its coordinates matrix. At the moment, I have defined a coordinates matrix equal to zero and the demand equal to the processing time of each task, but I am unsure if it really being an appropriate way to define a coordinates matrix.
I was wondering if, have your insight regarding that and if possible to solve this problem with this library.
All the best
