Hello,
I want to optimize the garbage collection system of a district municipality using VRP. The garbage collection starts at 06:30 am and ends at 10:00 am. We have 109 garbage containers scattered in different locations. Due to traffic congestion, I want to collect first the containers in the city center and in the areas where schools are located (52 containers) before the schools open (e.g. between 06:30 - 07:30 a.m.). I want to collect 57 containers after the schools start (e.g. after 08:30 a.m.). I want to solve the problem in one go without splitting it into 2 parts. Therefore, how can I set the order of priority for the containers? I would appreciate if you can help me.
