NOTE:

To be able to call any web services described here, you need to obtain your API KEY using the logvrp web application GUI.

In order to obtain your API KEY, first log into logvrp web application and click "Manage API Key" button.

Simply the steps are:

• Get Ticket
• Set Stations
• Set Location Working Hours (optional, not required)
• Set Distance Matrix
• Set Duration Matrix
• Set Orders
• Set Order Periods (optional, not required)
• Set Vehicles
• Set Vehicle Working Hours (optional, not required)
• Set Vehicle Hourly Costs (optional, not required)
• Set Vehicle Location Assignments (optional, not required)
• Set Parameters (optional, not required)
• Run Computation
• Get Result

These are:

1. Get a computation ticket using "Ticket" service
2. Set stations that will be used in the computation using "Stations" service.
3. Set location working hours using "LocationWorkingHours" service. (optional)
4. Set distance matrix that will be used in the computation using "DistanceMatrix" service. Some notes:

• Even if you do no not have any distance matrix values, you need to call this with a null value.
• If you do no not have any distance matrix values, in this case, logvrp will calculate the distances for your stations data.
• If you have distance matrix that you want logvrp to use, then you need to provide the distance matrix values
• If you provide your distance matrix, in this case, logvrp will use your distances for your stations data.

Set duration matrix that will be used in the computation using "DurationMatrix" service. Some notes:

• Even if you do no not have any duration matrix values, you need to call this with a null value.
• If you do no not have any duration matrix values, in this case, logvrp will calculate the duration for your stations data.
• If you have duration matrix that you want logvrp to use, then you need to provide the duration matrix values
• If you provide your duration matrix, in this case, logvrp will use your duration for your stations data.

Set orders that will be used in the computation using "Orders" service.

Set order periodicity/recurrence information using "OrderPeriods" service. (optional)

Set vehicles that will be used in the computation using "Vehicles" service.

Set vehicle working hours using "VehicleWorkingHours" service. (optional)

Set vehicle hourly costs using "VehicleHourlyCosts" service. (optional)

Set vehicle-location assignments using "VehicleLocationAssignments" service. (optional). If each of your vehicles have different territories to serve, or each vehicle has different customer locations pre-assigned, you can use this service to specify those vehicle-customer location mappings.

Set additional computation parameters using "Parameters" service. (optional)

Use "Optimization" service in order to start route optimization. You can specify optimization parameters, constraints and options in this step.

• You need to specify which algorithm should be run.
• "Optimization" service will return how much you need to wait in order to get optimum routes as "seconds".
• You need to wait that much seconds that "Optimization" service returned.
• When the time to wait (specified by "Optimization" service in the previous step) elapsed then get the results.

Use "Result" service in order to get optimum routes. You will get the optimum routes calculated by the algorithm, you have specified.
