About Schedule Parameter and Violations Sets Screen
The Schedule Parameter and Violation Sets screen allows the Solution Depth and Fast Cost Depth to be defined for the Fast Costing process. For more information about this screen, refer to the “Scheduling” section of the PASS System Administrator Guide.
When configuring Fast Costing in this screen, the following parameters need to be defined
in the Solution Parameters tab:
- Fast Cost (FC) - Set this parameter to 1 to enable Fast Costing; set this parameter to 0 to disable it. By default, this feature is disabled.
- Fast Cost Depth (FCD)- Specify the number of Fast Costed
solutions to be re-costed and compared using street routing. Although higher
values may produce better results, it may also result in slower scheduling
because more time-consuming street routing is required; smaller values yield
faster scheduling. Also, re-costed solutions using street routing may not be
viable because of violations such as OB, SL, RnL, and so on.Note: FCD should be equal to or greater than SDepth.
- Solution Depth (SDepth) - Specify the maximum number of
solutions for a trip that Schedule Server should display in the Solutions step
of the Manage Bookings screen after the final re-costing
and sorting is performed. If there are more valid solutions re-costed than the
SDepth value, then only the top SDepth solutions are shown.Note: Run priority overrides cost in the final sort order. Refer to the “Runs” section of the PASS User Guide for more instructions on configuring run priority.
