這個範例說明如何使用 timeWindows 為貨件設定取貨和送達時間。
如要查看完整的概念總覽，並進一步瞭解 timeWindows 的使用方式，請參閱時間範圍鍵概念文件。
情境 1：在時間範圍內送達
以下範例示範的情境是，單一車輛必須在指定的 timeWindows 內運送三件貨物。
要求範例
這項要求包含三批商品，每批商品都有不同的運送TimeWindow：
shipments[0]送達時間：18:00 - 19:00shipments[1]送達時間：18:00 - 18:30shipments[2]送達時間：17:30 - 18:00

每筆出貨的送達時間 startTime 都在要求的時間範圍內：
shipments[2]於 17:50 放送 (在 17:30 至 18:00 的時間範圍內)。shipments[1]於 18:00 送達 (在 18:00 至 18:30 的時間範圍內)。shipments[0]在 18:07 送達 (在 18:00 至 19:00 的時段內)。
情境 2：因時間範圍而略過運送
以下範例說明某個運送作業的時間範圍與其他作業相距太遠，因此最佳化工具略過該運送作業並支付 penaltyCost，反而更具成本效益。
要求範例
這項要求與第一個情境相同，但其中一項運送作業的送達時間範圍不同，在當天較晚的時間。

回應範例
回應顯示最佳化工具略過 shipment[1]。這是因為車輛必須額外行駛數小時才能運送該貨件，而這段時間的計算成本高於貨件的 penaltyCost 20.0。

回應中的 skippedShipments 陣列顯示 index: 1 的出貨作業未執行，這會影響下列費用參數：
- 該出貨商品中
penaltyCost的 20.0 包含在metrics.costs中。 totalCost(81.28) 是routeTotalCost(61.28) 和penalty_cost(20.0) 的總和。
情境 3：使用軟性時間範圍
以下範例說明如何使用彈性時間範圍，讓最佳化工具在指定日期範圍外排定放送時間，但會產生費用。
如需這項功能的概念總覽，請參閱「時間範圍重要概念」文件中的「軟性時間範圍」一節。
要求範例
這項要求會將 shipment[1] 的嚴格時間範圍改為寬鬆時間範圍，藉此修改先前的情境。方法是使用 softStartTime 並提供 costPerHourBeforeSoftStartTime。
shipment[1] 的 softStartTime 現在是 21:00，costPerHourBeforeSoftStartTime 則是 2.0。也就是說，只要在晚上 9 點前送達，每小時都會受到處罰。

回應範例
回應顯示最佳化工具現在會排定所有三批貨物的運送時間。系統會安排在遠早於 21:00 softStartTime 的時間傳送 shipment[1]。這是最符合成本效益的解決方案，因為違反軟性時間範圍的成本低於略過運送的 penaltyCost，也低於讓車輛等待在時間範圍內運送的成本。

軟時間範圍可產生更佳的解決方案，這點反映在下列改善項目中：
- 3 次出貨皆已排定，不會略過任何一次。
totalCost現在是 64.79，低於先前解決方案的費用 81.28。routeCosts物件包含 5.74 的費用，用於在softStartTime之前近 3 小時送達shipment[1]。這個成本低於 20.0 的penaltyCost，因此是最具成本效益的選項。
