Add time spent in a node

[miedzikd]

Hi @dcmox!
Great library ... well done!

I wanted to ask if you think it is possible to use this library in such a way that, when calculating the route, determine the additional time that the driver must spend on each node? In my case, when the driver reaches his destination, sometimes he has to stay there for 45 minutes ... sometimes an hour ... sometimes 2 hours - it is always specified by agreement. The visit time must fit within the time window.

What do you think?

If you look at the sample data, you will see that the times array is the distance in hours between each stop based on the order they are provided in: https://github.com/dcmox/tspwc/blob/master/tests/test-data.ts

Example, with the second stop on the list:

{ arriveBetween: [new Date('2019-05-01 6:00'), new Date('2019-05-01 7:00')], id: 'Madison, WI', load: -10, times: [1, 0, 5, 3, 5.5, 7, 7.5, 4, 14, 8.75], },

The first time 1 corresponds with the distance (in hours) from Appleton to Madison. The second time is 0 because that element in the array corresponds to itself. The third time 5 is the stop after Madison, WI which happens to be Grand Rapids, MI.

The distance between each stop is not calculated for you. You would need to calculate that yourself.

To answer your original question, you would be able to add the time that the driver needs to stay at any given location to the amount of hours it takes to get there. That may be enough to satisfy your requirements, otherwise it may be something that a custom condition may solve - but that would require some modifications.
