Class FleetRoutingClient (2.28.0)

Validity of certain types of fields:

• google.protobuf.Timestamp
  • Times are in Unix time: seconds since 1970-01-01T00:00:00+00:00.
  • seconds must be in [0, 253402300799], i.e. in [1970-01-01T00:00:00+00:00, 9999-12-31T23:59:59+00:00].
  • nanos must be unset or set to 0.
• google.protobuf.Duration
  • seconds must be in [0, 253402300799], i.e. in [1970-01-01T00:00:00+00:00, 9999-12-31T23:59:59+00:00].
  • nanos must be unset or set to 0.
• google.type.LatLng
  • latitude must be in [-90.0, 90.0].
  • longitude must be in [-180.0, 180.0].
  • at least one of latitude and longitude must be non-zero.

Equality

Instances of this class created via copy-construction or copy-assignment always compare equal. Instances created with equal std::shared_ptr<*Connection> objects compare equal. Objects that compare equal share the same underlying resources.

Performance

Creating a new instance of this class is a relatively expensive operation, new objects establish new connections to the service. In contrast, copy-construction, move-construction, and the corresponding assignment operations are relatively efficient as the copies share all underlying resources.

Thread Safety

Concurrent access to different instances of this class, even if they compare equal, is guaranteed to work. Two or more threads operating on the same instance of this class is not guaranteed to work. Since copy-construction and move-construction is a relatively efficient operation, consider using such a copy when using this class from multiple threads.

A ShipmentModel model consists mainly of Shipments that need to be carried out and Vehicles that can be used to transport the Shipments. The ShipmentRoutes assign Shipments to Vehicles. More specifically, they assign a series of Visits to each vehicle, where a Visit corresponds to a VisitRequest, which is a pickup or delivery for a Shipment.

The goal is to provide an assignment of ShipmentRoutes to Vehicles that minimizes the total cost where cost has many components defined in the ShipmentModel.

This method is a Long Running Operation (LRO). The inputs for optimization (OptimizeToursRequest messages) and outputs (OptimizeToursResponse messages) are read/written from/to Cloud Storage in user-specified format. Like the OptimizeTours method, each OptimizeToursRequest contains a ShipmentModel and returns an OptimizeToursResponse containing ShipmentRoutes, which are a set of routes to be performed by vehicles minimizing the overall cost.

Specifying the NoAwaitTag immediately returns the [google::longrunning::Operation] that corresponds to the Long Running Operation that has been started. No polling for operation status occurs.

This method accepts a google::longrunning::Operation that corresponds to a previously started Long Running Operation (LRO) and polls the status of the LRO in the background.
