Hello,





I am performing an Vehicle Routing Problem with Time Windows in AIMMS.


The problem consists of 164 locations. I already expected that using all these locations would take a very long time. Therefore, I decided to divide this area into sub-areas.





I tested the model with 8 locations and for those locations I got a result. However, I am now doing the same for another area which consists of 18 locations and the computation time is very long. It stays at a gap of 38% and once in a while it decreases with 0,01%.





Now is my question is there something I can do about this as it seems that the model does work for smaller areas? If you need my model for this, please let me know to which address I can send it to as the data is confidential.





Kind regards,


Claire
Hi Claire, thanks for your question.



This article has some efficiency tips that may help: https://how-to.aimms.com/Articles/125/125-execution-efficiency.html



@mohansx perhaps you can offer some further advice specific to this situation?
Hello @Claire ,



Did you use proper domain conditions on your variables and constraints so that the model is better equipped for scaling up in size ?



It would be helpful to take a look at your model before we can offer any proper advice. Can you send the project folder zipped along with the data case to support@aimms.com ?
