The GFA with roads experiment takes into account actual roads and population of cities, which allows it to suggest more accurate distribution centers' locations, as compared to the simple GFA experiment. The offered locations cannot be placed on top of a mountain or in a sea. The experiment considers the following data:
- Locations of the customers
- List of products
- Aggregated demand for each customer and product
- Existing roads a vehicle can take to deliver the products
- Population of the cities
You can also use it as the Brownfield analysis to extend the existing properly functioning GFA scenario.
The Sourcing table is not obligatory for the solver in this experiment (as opposed to other experiments). The sourcing policies will be generated by the experiment based on the input data. The policies the table contains (if defined) will be considered by the solver in addition to the default input.
If it is required to omit certain object(s) from the solver's task, simply set its Inclusion Type to Exclude in the table corresponding to the required object's type.
To create an experiment you need to previously create at least one scenario.
