Solution

  • Jsprit takes time unit as seconds. If you want to use hours you need to convert the time in seconds first. One thing I want to clarify here,

    setTimeWindow(TimeWindow.newInstance(912,967));

    Here 912 and 967 is not the start time and end time of task. Here 912 is the earliest start time which means you can not start this service before 912. And 967 is latest end time which means you have to end this service before 967. Service might have some duration which you can mention in

    setServiceTime(time in seconds)
