Define Travel Cost Model

Explanation

Use this activity to define a travel cost model. The Travel Cost Model ID can be connected to a resource or a resource type in Service and Maintenance/Scheduling/Basic Data/Scheduling Basic Data

To set up and to utilize the travel cost model a corresponding travel cost model with the same ID needs to be setup in the scheduling workbench. The definition of the travel cost model is set up in the Scheduling Workbench in Service and Maintenance/Scheduling/Scheduling Workbench - Planning - Data Management - Travel Cost Models. The travel cost model is used to set advanced rules to limit the amount of travel scheduled to a resource. Travel can be limited by individual journey time, by travel time from the shift start location and by total shift travel time. The limitation can either be a hard constraint, or be in the form of penalties and additional costs once the travel exceeds a certain threshold.
