Shared resources

A fleet.resources specifies an optional section which goal is to control distribution of limited shared resource between different vehicles.

Reload resource

An idea of reload resource is to put limit on amount of deliveries in total loaded to the multiple vehicles on specific reload place. A good example is some warehouse which can be visited by multiple vehicles in the middle of their tours, but it has only limited amount of deliveries.

The reload resource definition has the following properties:

• type (required): should be set to reload
• id (required): an unique resource id. Put this id in vehicle reload's resourceId property to trigger shared resource behavior
• capacity (required): total amount of resource. It has the same type as vehicle's capacity property.

An example of a reload resource definition:

    "resources": [
      {
        "type": "reload",
        "id": "warehouse_a",
        "capacity": [1]
      }
    ]

An example of a vehicle reload with a reference to the resource definition:

            "reloads": [
              {
                "location": {
                  "lat": 52.5103,
                  "lng": 13.3898
                },
                "duration": 600.0,
                "resourceId": "warehouse_a"
              }
            ]
