When to use

When delivery planning has to take the axle load of the vehicle into account.

How to implement

  • Split the cargo body into virtual boxes.
  • For each box, describe the restrictions that follow from the axle load.

Example

There are 3 cargo items of 2000 kg each. There is also a vehicle that can carry 6000 kg in total. Because of the axle load limit, its body is split into 2 boxes of 3000 kg — so all 3 cargo items cannot fit into the vehicle at the same time.

During planning, only 2 cargo items are delivered. The third one is not delivered, because it does not fit into the vehicle due to the axle load restrictions.
