The application allows users to upload data in different ways, depending on the stage of the problem you are in and/or the ammount of data avaliable.

Please keep in mind that files must be free of special characters and symbols which could lead the system to reject the upload petition due to security reasons.

The following examples will help clearify how data should be ulpoaded:

Data from scratch:

The system allows you to geocode data out of a list of addresses (download example)

Data formatting would match the following example:

Home Node Full address, Zip, (Country)
Customer 1 Full address, Zip, (Country)
Customer 2 Full address, Zip, (Country)
Customer ... Full address, Zip, (Country)
Customer n Full address, Zip, (Country)

Additionally, it is allowed to include demand for every node.

Formatting is described below (download example) :

Note semicolon symbols ";" are used to diferentiate both address and demand data.

Home Node Full address, Zip, (Country);Truck load
Customer 1 Full address, Zip, (Country);Demand Customer 1
Customer 2 Full address, Zip, (Country);Demand Customer 2
Customer ... Full address, Zip, (Country);Demand Customer 5
Customer n Full address, Zip, (Country);Demand Customer ...

You can also upload datasets which do not need geocoding. Formatting is described below(download example):

Again, semicolon symbols ";" are used to diferentiate both address and demand data.

0;Home Name;Home Node Full address, Zip, (Country);Latitude;Longitude;Truck Load
1;Customer 1 Name;Customer 1 Full address, Zip, (Country)Latitude;Longitude;Demand
2;Customer 2 Name;Customer 2 Full address, Zip, (Country);Latitude;Longitude;Demand
...;Customer ... Name;Customer ... Full address, Zip, (Country);Latitude;Longitude;Demand
n;Customer n Name;Customer n Full address, Zip, (Country);Latitude;Longitude;Demand
