Overview

About

Maintained by Lukas SchneiderbauerCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗Website ↗Issues ↗

Implements the Clarke-Wright algorithm to find a quasi-optimal solution to the Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problem. See Clarke, G. and Wright, J.R. (1964) doi:10.1287/opre.12.4.568 for details. The implementation is accompanied by helper functions to inspect its solution.

Changes in 0.3.0

Breaking changes

clarke_wright(): The default argument of restrictions is changed from NULL to an empty data frame. Passing restrictions = NULL now fails.

Minor improvements and fixes

clarke_wright():
Vehicle restrictions are now correctly applied if two tours are linked whose end points do not have vehicle restrictions maintained, but the tours include other edges with vehicle restrictions.
R session does not crash anymore due to integer overflow issues in certain circumstances.
plot()/autoplot():
Plotting of a milk run result with a single site now also works.
The functions do have reference pages now.

Install

R (CRAN)pak (dev)Ubuntu (r2u)Fedora (COPR)openSUSE (OBS)

install.packages("heumilkr", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

if (!requireNamespace("pak", quietly = TRUE))
  install.packages("pak", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")
pak::pak("lschneiderbauer/heumilkr")

Development version from lschneiderbauer/heumilkr. Installs pak first if it is not already available.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-heumilkr

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled. We list this channel from recorded r2u download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make

# enable the iucar/cran COPR if it is not already present, then install
ls /etc/yum.repos.d/*iucar*cran*.repo >/dev/null 2>&1 \
  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-heumilkr

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
sudo zypper install -y R-heumilkr

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed). We list this channel from recorded autoCRAN download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.
