One route plan, not two delivery models
PUDO stops and home deliveries get sequenced together in a single run, alongside time windows, vehicle capacity, and driver hours, rather than through a separate planning process. Two things make the consolidated stops themselves realistic to plan: every parcel bound for the same pickup point can be treated as one aggregated stop rather than the system adding up each parcel's handling time individually, and a pickup point's real capacity — how many drops it can actually take within a given hour can be set as a hard limit, so the plan never routes more vehicles to a locker bank or carrier counter than it can physically process.This is what PTV OptiFlow does, on its own, as part of the same plan as everything else on the route.
