public interface RouteAlgorithm

The general interface for all route planning algorithms.

Method Summary

Route	planRoute(Job j) Searches for the optimal route and orders the points array to be in the optimal order.
void	setCostEvaluator(CostEvaluator ce) Sets the cost evaluator object to evaluate one segment cost.

Method Detail

planRoute

public Route planRoute(Job j)

Searches for the optimal route and orders the points array to be in the optimal order. The 0-th element in the array is assumed to be starting point. No assumptions are made for ending point.

Parameters:

job - The job structure, which contains field, observation points....

setCostEvaluator

public void setCostEvaluator(CostEvaluator ce)

Sets the cost evaluator object to evaluate one segment cost.

Parameters:

ce - The cost evaluator. If not set the default cost evaluator should be used.
