Locations¶

Locations are the places where depots and tasks are situated. Each location has a unique identifier and geographic coordinates in the form of a latitude and longitude pair.

Profiles¶

A routing profile defines how travel distances and durations are calculated between locations. By default, FastVRP provides a car profile that models standard road vehicle routing. Each vehicle type has a profile field that determines which routing profile is used for its routes.

Custom profiles¶

You can provide your own routing profiles by passing them in the profiles field of the problem data when submitting a new job. Custom profiles are useful when you have your own travel data, for example from a different routing engine, or when you need to model non-standard vehicle types. To use a custom profile, set the profile field on a vehicle type to match the custom profile's id. See the Custom routing profiles tutorial for a worked example.
