VRP Solver - 030092: failed due to invalid input, unsure how to proceed

[Barbara_Araujo]

Hello all,

I am new to VRP and not sure of what the problem is. I understand "invalid input" means something in my table is wrong but I can't figure out what - my information seems to be in line with the tutorials I found on Youtube (this one especially). I was wondering if someone could please give me some support or point me to the right direction.

I have only one Depot and only one vehicle - two routes in my case represent different days, not trucks. Working time is 08:00 - 12:00 and 13:00 - 17:00 with a break from 12:00 - 13:00. Time spent at each stop is 10 minutes. Cost and quantity/volume is not important to me so I left the fields blank.

The tables and parameters I'm using are below. Data types (double, date, text...) are appropriately recognised.

I'm sorry if I'm coming across as wanting other to do the job for me - I just don't know who to turn to. Thank you in advance for the help and I am available for more information.

Hello Barbara,

I don't see anything obviously wrong with the screenshots here. To dig more into it, could you check messages in the solve dialogue box to know more about the error. It is the rightmost tab in the solve pane as in the picture below.

Thanks,

Shubhada

The last two error messages are the ones that need to be fixed. 

"Breaks (RouteName = "Route 1", Precedence = 1) and (RouteName = "Route 1", Precedence = 2) have overlapping time windows.
Breaks (RouteName = "Route 2", Precedence = 1) and (RouteName = "Route 2", Precedence = 2) have overlapping time windows."

The breaks need to be set up so that the time windows do not overlap. Breaks will start at any point within that time window and so having an overlap would mean both could be started at the exact same time.

Hello Heather,

thank you for your answer. I don't know in what stage of my many changes I was when I wrote this post but I actually managed to solve the problem. It was related to the "invalid input". I work with point names in cyrillic and the programme was having difficulties understanding the depot name. It was invalid. Changing it to the Latin alphabet worked!
