BreakRule(mapping=None, *, ignore_unknown_fields=False, **kwargs)Rules to generate time breaks for a vehicle (e.g. lunch breaks). A break is a contiguous period of time during which the vehicle remains idle at its current position and cannot perform any visit. A break may occur:
- during the travel between two visits (which includes the time right before or right after a visit, but not in the middle of a visit), in which case it extends the corresponding transit time between the visits,
- or before the vehicle start (the vehicle may not start in the middle of a break), in which case it does not affect the vehicle start time.
- or after the vehicle end (ditto, with the vehicle end time).

Classes
BreakRequest
BreakRequest(mapping=None, *, ignore_unknown_fields=False, **kwargs)The sequence of breaks (i.e. their number and order) that apply to
each vehicle must be known beforehand. The repeated
BreakRequest\ s define that sequence, in the order in which they
must occur. Their time windows (earliest_start_time /
latest_start_time) may overlap, but they must be compatible with
the order (this is checked).
FrequencyConstraint
FrequencyConstraint(mapping=None, *, ignore_unknown_fields=False, **kwargs)One may further constrain the frequency and duration of the breaks
specified above, by enforcing a minimum break frequency, such as
"There must be a break of at least 1 hour every 12 hours". Assuming
that this can be interpreted as "Within any sliding time window of
12h, there must be at least one break of at least one hour", that
example would translate to the following FrequencyConstraint:
::
{ min_break_duration { seconds: 3600 } # 1 hour. max_inter_break_duration { seconds: 39600 } # 11 hours (12 - 1 = 11). }
The timing and duration of the breaks in the solution will respect
all such constraints, in addition to the time windows and minimum
durations already specified in the BreakRequest.
A FrequencyConstraint may in practice apply to non-consecutive
breaks. For example, the following schedule honors the "1h every
12h" example:
::
04:00 vehicle start
.. performing travel and visits ..
09:00 1 hour break
10:00 end of the break
.. performing travel and visits ..
12:00 20-min lunch break
12:20 end of the break
.. performing travel and visits ..
21:00 1 hour break
22:00 end of the break
.. performing travel and visits ..
23:59 vehicle end
