Exercise 2 - Routes I

Assign a route to the vehicle

Home | Exercise 1 - Start | Exercise 3 - Connections I

Summary

Now that we have a moving vehicle, let's create a route for it. The idea is to assign a route for the vehicle, for example A(0,0) → B(3,2) → C(1,4) and then back to A

|   | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | A | - | - | \ |   |
| 1 | ¦ |   |   | ¦ |   |
| 2 | ¦ |   |   | B |   |
| 3 | ¦ |   |   | ¦ |   |
| 4 | \ | C | - | / |   |

We also want to stay 1 turn at each stop, so the time to complete the route, from A to A again will be:

|A stop  |  1 turn  |
|A to B  |  5 turns |
|B stop  |  1 turn  |
|B to C  |  4 turns |
|C stop  |  1 turn  |
|C to A  |  5 turns |
|TOTAL   | 17 turns |

You can also try with a circular route repeating some stops, like for example (0,0) → (3,2) → (1,4) → (3,2). This will take 22 turns to complete
