Send a Request

The Tour Planning supports two types of requests: synchronous request or an asynchronous request. All features are available for both synchronous and asynchronous requests, however synchronous requests have more strict limitations on jobs and fleet sizes.

Depending on the type of request, you need to follow different steps to get the result. Please check the corresponding pages for more details.

Complexity of the Problem vs Time required to solve it

The certain features make solving of a Vehicle Routing Problem more challenging, so that the algorithm needs more time to find a "good" solution. Such features are:

• amount of jobs and vehicle types: the bigger amount means more complex problem
• multi jobs
• pickup and delivery jobs
• restrictive time windows
• insufficient total vehicle capacity in comparison to total job demand

Consider using asynchronous request with higher polling interval in such cases.
