Vehicle capacity in SCV model

The vehicle capacity can now be specified in SCV for each transportation method and number of vehicles for each transportation route. Using this information, transportation route capacity is determined as ‘vehicle capacity * number of vehicles.

Vehicle capacities are specified in SCV for each transportation method. Capacity of a vehicle can be specified in SCV in these three ways:

  • Weight
  • Volume
  • Transport Unit

Item's weight, volume and shipment units for each base unit attributes are used to determine the number of items fit into one vehicle for each transportation method.

These entities are updated:

  • TRANSPORTATION_ROUTE: Added new columns number_of_vehicles, tu_unit_cost
  • TRANSPORTATION_METHOD: Added new column tu_capacity.

These entities are extended to enable users manually specify capacity and cost values:

  • TRANSPORTATION_ROUTE
  • TRANSPORTATION_METHOD

This entity is added, with related configuration, to hold time-phased transportation route attributes:

  • TRANSPORTATION_ROUTE_BUCKETS
