Thanks Heather! As you tell me I have a lot of orders, approximately 2000 orders. My doubt is beacause I uuse, in the firts option with 22 trucks, and the solver offers me one solution with 14 trucks. UIn a asecond option with 16 trucks, the solver offers me the same solution, with identical routes, but in the third option with 14 trucks the solver offers me a partial solution. The most curious is if in a new option (fourth option) with 14 truck too, I take the orders from the previous options configuring all orders Asigment rule in "Preseve route and sequence" I get the same solution that 22 and 16 truck with only 14 trucks. In the third option 14 trucks, Asigment Rule to the orders are in "Overrride". I will try introducing a fixedcost, is a great idea! Thanks!! ... View more

Thanks Shubada! My problem is that I have 2 Renewal Sites and I need that the VRP choose one or another depending the route. Then I shouldn't designate one renewal site in each route to the VRP choose the optimal site between both in the several routes. If I create a fake order (renewal site) then I'm forcing that in one route the renewal site is my choice instead of the VRP. ... View more

Hi Amber You can edit the evaluators (sorry, before I said parameters) of the network in  its properties. To access to evaluators in the Arc Catalog right click in Network dataset > Properties > Atributtes Here you can edit the several evaluators, for example the speed of the network in the differents kind of road. For this, you mark Speed and click in Evaluators. Then it opens one new box In this box you can mark the sources that yo wnat to edit. in yhis case BASE_nd roads and click in the Evaluators properties, then appears a new box and in the Pre-logic Script Code you can change the values of the speed for the differents kind of roads. You must change these values in both directions, From-To and To-From In the same way you can change other characteristics in the network dataset You can change this values too in the Network Configuration file with an xml editor located in "C:\...\ArcGIS\Desktop10.1\ArcToolbox\Toolboxes\ND_ConfigFiles" and save with a new name to keep the original configuraion file. With this new configuration file you can create the network dataset from the beginning with the  "Create OSM Netwok Dataset" tool (OpenStreetMap Toolboox).   ... View more

I suppose that Amber has made the network dataset by OpenStreetMap Toolboox with the "Create OSM Netwok Dataset" tool. In this tool are solicited three inputs: OSM Dataset Network Configuration file (Configuration XML file that guides creation of a network dataset from the given OSM data.) Output Network dataset In ArcGIS there are several configuration files to set up the transformation. This files are in: "C:\...\ArcGIS\Desktop10.1\ArcToolbox\Toolboxes\ND_ConfigFiles" By defect there are three files ( Drive meters.xml, DriveGeneric.xml and CycleGeneric.xml) but you can create news files or modify them to create new configuration files ...

Hi Amber, maybe you could create a OSM Network dataset with generic config file. Once created you could edit the parameters of the network (for example speed) and configure the analysis without taking into account oneways and / or access.  ... View more

Hi, I have the same problem too, with only  one difference: in my case I have the possibility to unload in two renewals site. In your case maybe you could establish, if you have only one site renewal as I have understood, the renewal depot as final depot and after add other route calculate separately from your Renewal site to Depot A. PS: Sorry for my english. ... View more
