# cuOpt Routing — Python API Confirm problem type (TSP, VRP, PDP) and data (locations, orders, fleet, constraints) before coding. This skill is **Python only**. Routing has no C API in cuOpt. ## Minimal VRP Example ```python import cudf from cuopt import routing cost_matrix = cudf.DataFrame([...], dtype="float32") dm = routing.DataModel(n_locations=4, n_fleet=2, n_orders=3) dm.add_cost_matrix(cost_matrix) dm.set_order_locations(cudf.Series([1, 2, 3], dtype="int32")) solution = routing.Solve(dm, routing.SolverSettings()) if solution.get_status() == 0: solution.display_routes() ``` ## Adding Constraints ```python # Time windows dm.add_transit_time_matrix(transit_time_matrix) dm.set_order_time_windows(earliest_series, latest_series) # Capacities dm.add_capacity_dimension("weight", demand_series, capacity_series) dm.set_order_service_times(service_times) dm.set_vehicle_locations(start_locations, end_locations) dm.set_vehicle_time_windows(earliest_start, latest_return) # Pickup-delivery pairs dm.set_pickup_delivery_pairs(pickup_indices, delivery_indices) # Precedence dm.add_order_precedence(node_id=2, preceding_nodes=np.array([0, 1])) ``` ## Solution Checking ```python status = solution.get_status() # 0=SUCCESS, 1=FAIL, 2=TIMEOUT, 3=EMPTY if status == 0: route_df = solution.get_route() total_cost = solution.get_total_objective() else: print(solution.get_error_message()) print(solution.get_infeasible_orders().to_list()) ``` ## Data Types (use explicit dtypes) ```python cost_matrix = cost_matrix.astype("float32") order_locations = cudf.Series([...], dtype="int32") demand = cudf.Series([...], dtype="int32") ``` ## Solver Settings ```python ss = routing.SolverSettings() ss.set_time_limit(30) ss.set_verbose_mode(True) ss.set_error_logging_mode(True) ``` ## Common Issues | Problem | Fix | |---------|-----| | Empty solution | Widen time windows or check travel times | | Infeasible orders | Increase fleet or capacity | | Status != 0 with time windows | Add `add_transit_time_matrix()` | | Wrong cost | Check cost_matrix is symmetric | | `compute_waypoint_sequence` alters route_df | It replaces the `location` column with waypoint ids in place — pass `route_df.copy()` if you still need cost-matrix indices (e.g. when iterating per truck) | ## Debugging **When status != 0:** `print(solution.get_error_message())` and `print(solution.get_infeasible_orders().to_list())` to see which orders are infeasible. **Data types:** Use explicit dtypes (float32, int32) for matrices and series to avoid silent errors. ## Examples - [examples.md](resources/examples.md) — VRP, PDP, multi-depot - [server_examples.md](resources/server_examples.md) — REST client (curl, Python) - **Reference models:** This skill's `assets/` — [vrp_basic](assets/vrp_basic/), [pdp_basic](assets/pdp_basic/).
