Vehicle Routing with time windows and capacity planning (Java, Quarkus, Maven)

Find the most efficient routes for a fleet of vehicles.

Vehicle Routing Screenshot

Tip

Check out our off-the-shelf model for Field Service Routing. This model goes beyond basic Vehicle Routing and supports additional constraints such as priorities, skills, fairness and more.

Prerequisites

  1. Install Java and Maven, for example with Sdkman: 
    $ sdk install java
$ sdk install maven

Run the application

  1. Git clone the timefold-quickstarts repo and navigate to this directory:

    $ git clone https://github.com/TimefoldAI/timefold-quickstarts.git
...
$ cd timefold-quickstarts/java/vehicle-routing

  2. Start the application with Maven:

    $ mvn quarkus:dev

  3. Visit http://localhost:8080 in your browser.

  4. Click on the Solve button.

Then try live coding:

  • Make some changes in the source code.
  • Refresh your browser (F5).
  • Notice that those changes are immediately visible.

Run the application with Timefold Solver Enterprise Edition

For high-scalability use cases, switch to Timefold Solver Enterprise Edition, our commercial offering.
Contact Timefold to obtain the credentials required to access our private Enterprise Maven repository.

  1. Create .m2/settings.xml in your home directory with the following content:

    <settings>
  ...
  <servers>
    <server>
      <!-- Replace "my_username" and "my_password" with credentials obtained from a Timefold representative. -->
      <id>timefold-solver-enterprise</id>
      <username>my_username</username>
      <password>my_password</password>
    </server>
  </servers>
  ...
</settings>

    See Settings Reference for more information on Maven settings.

  2. Start the application with Maven:

    $ mvn clean quarkus:dev -Denterprise

  3. Visit http://localhost:8080 in your browser.

  4. Click on the Solve button.

Then try live coding:

  • Make some changes in the source code.
  • Refresh your browser (F5).

Notice that those changes are immediately in effect.

Run the packaged application

When you're done iterating in quarkus:dev mode, package the application to run as a conventional jar file.

  1. Compile it with Maven:

    $ mvn package

  2. Run it:

    $ java -jar ./target/quarkus-app/quarkus-run.jar

    Note
    To run it on port 8081 instead, add -Dquarkus.http.port=8081.

  3. Visit http://localhost:8080 in your browser.

  4. Click on the Solve button.

Run the application in a container

  1. Build a container image:

    $ mvn package -Dcontainer

    The container image name

  2. Run a container:

    $ docker run -p 8080:8080 --rm $USER/vehicle-routing:1.0-SNAPSHOT

Run it native

To increase startup performance for serverless deployments, build the application as a native executable:

  1. Install GraalVM and gu install the native-image tool.

  2. Compile it natively.
    This takes a few minutes:

    $ mvn package -Dnative

  3. Run the native executable:

    $ ./target/*-runner

  4. Visit http://localhost:8080 in your browser.

  5. Click on the Solve button.
