For each #' agency, the number of cars required for the next morning and the stocks in the preceding #' evening are known. We would like to find a minimum cost plan for moving vehicles among #' agencies to satisfy all the requirements. #' #' Firstly, we test whether the number of required vehicles is equal to the number of #' vehicles in stock. If this is not true, then we stop, otherwise we continue to define #' two sets 'Excess' and 'Need' of agencies with an excess or deficit of cars. The road #' distances between each pair of agencies taking one from 'Excess' and the other from 'Need' #' are calculated. #' #' Since we want to move cars from agencies in set 'Excess' to agencies in 'Need', we define #' variables 'move_i_j' with i in set 'Excess' and j in set 'Need' to represent the number #' of cars transported from agency i to j. The objective to minimize is the sum of total #' costs for all the car movements. #' #' As to the constraints, for each agency in 'Excess', they need to give their extra #' vehicles to others that need cars. For agencies in 'Need', they should receive a #' sufficient number of cars from 'Excess' agencies to satisfy the requirement. #' #' The mathematical formulations of these constraints are included in the guide book #' 'Applications of optimization with Xpress'. #' #' #' For this example, we need packages 'xpress' and 'dplyr'. #' ## ----Load The Packages And The Function To Give Names------------------------- library(xpress) library(dplyr) #' #' #' Add the values we need for this example. #' ## ----Data--------------------------------------------------------------------- data.df <- data.frame( Agency = 1:10, Req = c(10, 6, 8, 11, 9, 7, 15, 7, 9, 12), # REQUIREMENT Stock = c(8, 13, 4, 8, 12, 2, 14, 11, 15, 7), # STOCK X_axis = c(0, 20, 18, 30, 35, 33, 5, 5, 11, 2), # X coordinate Y_axis = c(0, 20, 10, 12, 0, 25, 27, 10, 0, 15) # Y coordinate ) # cost for transporting a car per kilometer Cost <- 0.5 #' #' #' If the total requirement is not equal to the total stock, then we stop, otherwise #' we continue. #' ## ----Test Whether Stocks Equal Requirements----------------------------------- # calculate whether sum(Req)=sum(Stock), if not, we stop testthat::expect_equal(sum(data.df$Req), sum(data.df$Stock)) # the amount of stocks and requirements are the same, so we continue #' #' #' Create a new empty problem and give the problem a suitable name. #' ## ----Create The Problem------------------------------------------------------- # create a new problem prob = createprob() # set problem name setprobname(prob, "CarRental") #' #' #' Define sets 'Excess' and 'Need' to include agencies with excess or deficit of cars. #' We also calculate the distances between agencies from these two sets and store the #' distances in a data frame 'Dist'. #' ## ----Sets And Distances------------------------------------------------------- # agencies with excess of cars Excess <- data.df %>% filter(Stock > Req) # agencies with deficit of cars Need <- data.df %>% filter(Stock < Req) # calculate the road distances (1.3 times the Euclidean distances) between agencies in Excess and Need Dist <- as.data.frame(matrix(0, nrow = nrow(Excess), ncol = nrow(Need))) colnames(Dist) <- Need$Agency rownames(Dist) <- Excess$Agency for (i in 1:nrow(Excess)) for (j in 1:nrow(Need)) { Dist[i, j] <- 1.3 * sqrt((Excess$X_axis[i] - Need$X_axis[j]) ^ 2 + (Excess$Y_axis[i] - Need$Y_axis[j]) ^ 2) } #' #' #' Create variables 'move' and store their indices in a data frame 'index.df'. #' ## ----Add Columns-------------------------------------------------------------- # variables 'move_i_j', where i in set 'Excess' and j in set 'Need' index.df <- as.data.frame(matrix(0, nrow = nrow(Excess), ncol = nrow(Need))) colnames(index.df) <- Need$Agency rownames(index.df) <- Excess$Agency for (i in 1:nrow(Excess)) for (j in 1:nrow(Need)) { index.df[i, j] <- xprs_newcol( prob, lb = 0, ub = Inf, coltype = "I", name = sprintf("move_%d_%d", Excess$Agency[i], Need$Agency[j]), objcoef = Cost * Dist[i, j] ) } #' #' #' Add constraints that ensure the requirement of all agencies will be satisfied. #' ## ----Add Rows, results='hide'------------------------------------------------- Excess <- cbind(Excess, index.df) Need <- cbind(Need, t(index.df)) # agencies with excess availability apply(Excess, 1, function(x) xprs_addrow( prob, colind = x[as.character(Need$Agency)], rowcoef = rep(1, nrow(Need)), rowtype = "E", rhs = x["Stock"] - x["Req"], name = paste0("Excess_Agency_", x["Agency"]) )) # agencies in need of cars apply(Need, 1, function(x) xprs_addrow( prob, colind = x[as.character(Excess$Agency)], rowcoef = rep(1, nrow(Excess)), rowtype = "E", rhs = x["Req"] - x["Stock"], name = paste0("Need_Agency_", x["Agency"]) )) #' #' #' Now we can solve the problem. #' ## ----Solve The Problem-------------------------------------------------------- # solve the problem setoutput(prob) summary(xprs_optimize(prob)) #' #' #' Display the solutions here. #' ## ----The Solutions------------------------------------------------------------ # solutions move_solution <- as.data.frame(matrix( xprs_getsolution(prob), byrow = TRUE, nrow = nrow(Excess), ncol = nrow(Need) )) colnames(move_solution) <- Need$Agency rownames(move_solution) <- Excess$Agency objval <- round(getdblattrib(prob, xpress:::MIPOBJVAL), 3) print(paste("The optimum cost is:", objval)) print("The amount moved from 'Excess' agencies(column) to 'Need' agencies(row):") move_solution #' #' | |||||||||||
