Current Implementation

<Leave open for a list of existing implementation of this solution in Sahana Eden:> <*a brief description of the implementation (date/time, name, design options chosen)> <*a link to the code> <*list of deployments of the implementation> <*links to case studies> <*short analysis of achievements/problems>

Planned Implementation

<List of goals for your implementations which you (include your name/github repo/IRC handle) are currently working on>

Base case:

Known/Given:

• a transportation network with known status of availability
• a set of suppliers, having a fleet of vehicles of given capacities, and a warehouse of goods
• a set of demands (who, what, when)

Assumptions:

• sufficient vehicles
• sufficient drivers
• sufficient fuel
• vehicles transport all the fuel they need for transport

Goal:

• satisfy all demands within their time windows
• minimize total distance (assume for the moment that this also minimizes delivery time)
