How can I model vehicle-specific time-dependent road restrictions in ArcGIS VRP?

[DimasPutrapangestu]

I am working with ArcGIS Network Analyst Vehicle Routing Problem (VRP) and I am trying to model a real-world logistics scenario involving time-dependent road access restrictions.

Scenario:

• Around 100 orders distributed across the Jakarta metropolitan area (Indonesia).

• Around 40 vehicles with different capacities, weights, volumes, and specialties.

• Orders have one or more time windows.

• Some vehicles are allowed to enter Jakarta at any time.

• Other vehicles are not allowed to use certain roads or enter specific areas during restricted periods, for example:

  • 06:00–09:00

  • 16:00–18:00

What I would like the solver to do is:

• Allow a vehicle to use a road if it reaches that road outside the restricted period.

• Prohibit that same vehicle from using the road if it would arrive during the restricted period.

• Apply the restriction only to certain vehicle types, not all vehicles.

For example:

• Vehicle A may enter Jakarta at any time.

• Vehicle B may not use restricted roads in Jakarta between 06:00–09:00 and 16:00–18:00.

I am looking for guidance on the best way to model this in ArcGIS VRP.

Questions:

1. Is this possible using a custom Network Dataset with time-dependent restrictions?

2. Can restriction attributes be configured to apply only to specific vehicle types or routes?

3. Is there a recommended approach using Travel Modes, Restriction Attributes, Specialties, Time Windows, or other VRP settings?

4. If using ArcGIS Online/Enterprise routing services, is this type of behavior supported, or is a custom network dataset required?

5. Has anyone implemented vehicle-specific time-dependent access restrictions in ArcGIS VRP successfully?

Any examples, documentation references, or recommended modeling approaches would be appreciated.
