Cluster Costing
On the Cluster Costing page, the cost calculations are displayed for each cluster in the current clustering. Also cost totals and vehicle totals are displayed.
Costing Details
The Costing Details widget displays a table in which you can see how the total cost is split up in distance-, time- and trip-based cost for each cluster. At the bottom of the table, you can see the aggregated data (sum).
Distance Based Cost
Number of Trips - Total Demand in the cluster, divided by the Average Vehicle Load per Trip.
Average Trip Distance - Twice the Average Stem Distance and a summation of the inter-customer distances. This summation equals the Average Number of Drops per Trip minus one, multiplied by the Average Distance Between two Customers.
Total Distance - Average Trip Distance multiplied by the Number of Trips.
Total Distance Based Cost - Total Distance multiplied by the Vehicle Cost per unit of distance.
Time Based Cost
Number of Trips - (Same as above) The Number of Trips that are needed in a cluster equals the Total Demand in that cluster, divided by the Average Vehicle Load per Trip.
Average Trip Time - The Average Time of one Trip for a cluster is calculated is the sum of the following values:
the Average Vehicle Load Time
twice the Average Stem Distance divided by the Vehicle Speed
a summation of the inter-customer distances divided by the Vehicle Speed. This summation equals the Average Number of Drops per Trip minus one, multiplied by the Average Distance Between two Customers.
a summation of the Vehicle Unload Time. This summation equals the Average Number of Drops per Trip, multiplied by the Average Vehicle Unload Time.
Total Time - The Total Time in a cluster equals the Average Trip Time multiplied by the Number of Trips
Total Time Based Cost - The Total Time Based Cost equals the Total Time multiplied by the Vehicle Cost per hour.
Trip Based Costing
Number of Trips - (Same as above) The Number of Trips that are needed in a cluster equals the Total Demand in that cluster, divided by the Average Vehicle Load per Trip.
Total Trip Based Cost - The Total Trip Based Cost equals the Number of Trips times the Fixed Vehicle Cost per Trip.
Total Cost
The Total Cost column sums up the Total Distance, Time, and Trip Based Cost.
Number of Vehicles
The Number of Vehicle*s column displays the number of vehicles (based on all the averages) that is required to serve a cluster. It equals the *Number of Trips divided by the Total Number of Shifts.
Total Cost
The Total Cost widget shows a stacked bar chart representing the total cost split up in the total distance-, time-, and trip-based cost.
Total Fleet
The Total Fleet widget shows a stacked bar chart representing the total fleet split up in the several types of vehicles.
Distance, Time and Trip Based Cost (per Cluster)
The Distance, Time and Trip Based Cost (per Cluster) widget shows a stacked bar chart for each cluster representing the total cost for that cluster split up in the total distance-, time-, and trip- based cost. When you hover over a bar, a tooltip displays the corresponding cluster name and its cost value.
Fleet (#Vehicles per Cluster)
The Fleet (#Vehicles per Cluster) widget shows a stacked bar chart for each cluster representing the total fleet for a cluster split up in the several types of vehicles. When you hover over a bar, a tooltip displays the corresponding cluster name and its vehicle type.
