Task & Resource Management (LE-TRM)

A course of travel between a starting point and an end point. The system calculates route distances using nodes:

• Inter-zone distances are calculated by considering the distance between two zone entry or exit nodes.
• Intra-zone distances are calculated by considering the distance between a bin and the zone's exit nodes, a bin and the zone's entry nodes or two bins within the zone.
• If there are any obstacles, the route is calculated around the edges of the obstacles.

For distance calculation purposes, a route is divided into different segments.

Example

In the case of a simple movement task from bin A (located in zone 1) to bin B (located in zone 2), the system calculates the route distance by determining the following:

• The distance between bin A and the exit node of zone 1 (first segment)
• The distance between the exit node of zone 1 and the entry node of zone 2 (second segment)
• The distance between the entry node of zone 2 and bin B (third segment)
