The output data types containing the results from a last mile delivery analysis are described below.
Orders
The output is a copy of the input Orders table with additional information about which route served each order, the arrival and departure times, and the order sequence.
The output Orders table includes all fields from the input Orders table. Fields that are updated or added to the output are listed in the following table:
Field | Description | Data type |
---|---|---|
ObjectID | The object ID of the feature. | ObjectID |
RouteName | The name of the route to which the order is assigned. This field corresponds to the Name field in the output Routes table. | Text |
Sequence | This indicates the sequence of the order on its assigned route. Output sequence values for a route are shared across depot visits and orders. The sequences start from 0 at the starting depot and are consecutive. The smallest possible output sequence value for a routed order is 1. This is the case even if the route begins at a virtual depot. | Long |
| These fields contain a summary of violated constraints and are set after a solve operation. Each field will contain one violation. If an order has more than one violation, the next ViolatedConstraint_* field will be used.

If the violation is severe enough to immediately exclude the order from further consideration, the solver does so, which prevents any other violations from being discovered for that order. If a violation is encountered that doesn't automatically stop a solution from being generated, the violation is noted in violated constraint fields, and the solver continues to consider the order. Any further violations such as these are added to the violated constraint fields until either the solver finds a violation that prematurely stops the solve process for that particular order, or the solver finds an overall solution to the problem. | Long |
FromPrevTravelTime | The elapsed travel time from the previous stop to the current stop. The value is in the units specified by the timeUnits property of the analysis object. | Double |
FromPrevDistance | The distance along the route from the previous stop to the current stop. The value is in the units specified by the distanceUnits property of the analysis object. | Double |
ArriveCurbApproach | The side of the vehicle the curb is on when arriving at the stop. A value of 1 means the right side of the vehicle; a value of 2 means the left side. | Long |
DepartCurbApproach | The side of the vehicle the curb is on when departing from the stop. A value of 1 means the right side of the vehicle; a value of 2 means the left side. | Long |
ArriveTime | The time of day the route arrives at the order. The route may arrive at the order before the beginning of the order's time window, in which case there is a wait time at the order. For an order with a soft time window, the route may also arrive at the order after the end of the time window, in which case there is a violation time at the order. This arrival time reflects the travel times that were used during the optimization by the solver. For a network with traffic data, traffic conditions for specific times of day are not used; rather, the solver uses the time neutral average travel times for this optimization phase. The time zone for the ArriveTime field value is derived from the network element on which the order is located. | Timestamp Offset |
DepartTime | The time of day the route departs from the order. The route departs from the order upon completion of service. This departure time reflects the travel times that were used during the optimization by the solver. For a network with traffic data, traffic conditions for specific times of day are not used; rather, the solver uses the time neutral average travel times for this optimization phase. The time zone for the DepartTime field value is derived from the network element on which the order is located. | Timestamp Offset |
WaitTime | The wait time or layover at the order. For example, a wait time is incurred when a route must wait at an order for a time window to open. The value is in the units specified by the timeUnits property of the analysis object. | Double |
ViolationTime | The amount of time elapsed from the end of the order's time window to the arrival of the route vehicle. The value is in the units specified by the timeUnits property of the analysis object. | Double |

DepotVisits
When a route starts or ends at a depot, a depot visit is created. Depot visits provide information regarding why a route visited a depot and what happened there. The quantity of goods loaded on or unloaded from a vehicle at the depot is recorded in the properties of a depot visit. Additional information that is useful in interpreting the analysis solution is also included.

---|---|---|
ObjectID | The object ID of the feature. | ObjectID |

| Long |
RouteName | The name of the route containing this visit. This field is a foreign key to the Name field in the Routes table. | Text |

FromPrevDistance | The travel distance from the preceding visit on the route to the depot. The value is in the units specified by the distanceUnits property of the analysis object. | Double |
ArriveTime | The arrival time at the depot. The arrival time reflects the travel times that were used during the optimization by the solver. For a network with traffic data, traffic conditions for specific times of day are not used; rather, the solver uses the time neutral average travel times for this optimization phase. The time zone for the ArriveTime field value is derived from the network element on which the depot is located. | Timestamp Offset |
DepartTime | The departure time from the depot. The departure time reflects the travel times that were used during the optimization by the solver. For a network with traffic data, traffic conditions for specific times of day are not used; rather, the solver uses the time neutral average travel times for this optimization phase. The time zone for the DepartTime field value is derived from the network element on which the depot is located. | Timestamp Offset |
