Ability to minimize idle waiting time caused by hard time windows
complete
Jurriaan Persyn
This is a request to introduce a constraint that minimizes idle waiting time when hard time windows are used. When a vehicle arrives early, it may need to wait until the time window opens, resulting in unproductive idle time. The current model does not attempt to reduce this waiting.
Adding a constraint to penalize unnecessary waiting would encourage the solver to create more productive schedules with less idle time whenever feasible.
