Nextroute
Nextmv: The home for all your optimization work
Welcome to Nextmv's Nextroute, a feature-rich Vehicle Routing Problem (VRP) solver written in pure Go and supported in Python. Designed with a focus on maintainability, feature-richness, and extensibility, Nextroute is built to handle real-world applications across all platforms that Go (cross)compiles to.
Our goal is not to compete on specific VRP type benchmarks, but to provide a robust and versatile tool that can adapt to a variety of routing use-cases. Whether you're optimizing the routes for a small fleet of delivery vans in a city or managing complex logistics for a global supply chain, Nextroute is equipped to help you find efficient solutions.

Features
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| Alternate stops | Specify a set of alternate stops per vehicle for which only one should be serviced. |
| Compatibility attributes | Specify which stops are compatible with which vehicles. |
| Capacity | Set capacities for vehicles and quantities (demanded or offered) at stops. |
| Cluster constraint | Enforce the creation of clustered routes. |
| Cluster objective | Incentivize the creation of clustered routes. |
| Custom constraints | Implement custom constraints with Nextmv SDK. |
| Custom data | Add custom data that is preserved in the output. |
| Custom matrices | Use custom matrices to achieve more precise drive time. |
| Custom objectives | Implement custom objectives with Nextmv SDK. |
| Custom operators | Implement custom operators with Nextmv SDK. |
| Custom output | Create a custom output for your app. |
| Distance matrix | Specify a distance matrix in the input that provides the distance of going from location A to B. |
| Duration matrix | Specify a duration matrix in the input that provides the duration of going from location A to B. |
| Duration groups | Specify a duration that is added every time a stop in the group is approached from a stop outside of the group. |
| Early arrival time penalty | Specify a penalty that is added to the objective when arriving before a stop's target arrival time. |
| Late arrival time penalty | Specify a penalty that is added to the objective when arriving after a stop's target arrival time. |
| Map data in cloud | Calculates duration and distance matrices using a hosted OSRM map service when running on Nextmv Cloud. Note that map data is a paid feature. |
| Maximum route distance | Specify the maximum distance that a vehicle can travel. |
| Maximum route duration | Specify the maximum duration that a vehicle can travel for. |
| Maximum route stops | Specify the maximum stops that a vehicle can visit. |
| Maximum wait time | Specify the maximum time a vehicle can wait when arriving before the start time window opens at a stop. |
| Minimum route stops | Specify the minimum stops that a vehicle should visit (applying a penalty). |
| Nextcheck | Check which stops can be planned or why stops have been unplanned. |
| Precedence | Add pickups and deliveries or specify multiple pickups before deliveries and vice versa. |
| Stop duration | Specify the time it takes to service a stop. |
| Stop duration multiplier | Specify a multiplier on time it takes a vehicle to service a stop. |
| Stop groups | Specify stops that must be assigned together on the same route, with no further requirements. |
| Stop mixing | Specify properties of stops which can not be on the vehicle at the same time. |
| Time windows | Specify the time window in which a stop must start service. |
| Unplanned penalty | Specify a penalty that is added to the objective to leave a stop unplanned when all constraints cannot be fulfilled. |
| Vehicle activation penalty | Specify a penalty that is added to the objective for activating (using) a vehicle. |
| Vehicle initial stops | Specify initial stops planned on a vehicle. |
| Vehicle start/end location | Specify optional starting and ending locations for vehicles. |
| Vehicle start/end time | Specify optional starting and ending time for a vehicle. |
Local benchmarking
To run the go benchmarks locally, you can use the following command:
go test -benchmem -timeout 20m -run=^$ -count 10 -bench "^Benchmark" ./...
In order to compare changes from a PR with the latest develop version, you can
use benchstat.
# on the develop branch (or any other branch)
go test -benchmem -timeout 20m -run=^$ -count 10 -bench "^Benchmark" ./...\
| tee develop.txt
# on the new branch (or any other branch)
go test -benchmem -timeout 20m -run=^$ -count 10 -bench "^Benchmark" ./...\
| tee new.txt
# compare the two
benchstat develop.txt new.txt
Versioning
We try our best to version our software thoughtfully and only break APIs and behaviors when we have a good reason to.
- Minor (
v1.^.0) tags: new features, might be breaking. - Patch (
v1.0.^) tags: bug fixes.
