vcTransportSolution

Transport solution is a single route from one transport node (vcTransportNode) to another transport node without any branches or loops. The transport solutions are enforced to be valid when they are created or modified. The solution consists of an ordered list of transport link references (vcTransportLink), starting from the Source node and ending to the Destination node. Note: A valid transport solution conforms to these rules: - Transport solution can be empty i.e. contain no links. Using empty solutions is not recommended. Set the vcProduct.TransportSolution to None instead. - Each transport link's Source node is the same as the previous link's Destination node (must form a continuous one-directional path) - No two links have the same Source node (cannot contain branches) - No two links have the same Destination node (cannot contain joins or loops) - The Source and Destination nodes of the whole solution cannot be the same (cannot be a loop).

Properties

Name	Type	Access	Description
Destination	vcTransportNode	R	Gets the transport node this route ends in. Returns None if the solution is empty.
Links	vcList[vcTransportLink]	R	Gets the list of transport links that need to be travelled to get from the Source node to the Destination node, starting from Source.
Source	vcTransportNode	R	Gets the transport node this route starts from. Returns None if the solution is empty.

Methods

Learn how to use methods here. The methods are also inherited from the parent class.

Name	Return Type	Parameters	Description
getNextLink	vcTransportLink	vcTransportNode node	Returns the transport link that has the given transport node as its Source. See more Parameters: node (vcTransportNode): The source node to get the next link from. Returns: vcTransportLink: Found link orignating from the given node. None if no such link exists.
new	vcTransportSolution	List[vcTransportLink] links	Creates a new transport solution from a set of links that must conform to the rules of a valid solution. See more Parameters: links (List of vcTransportLink): The links, in order of traversal. Returns: vcTransportLink: The created transport solution. Exceptions: ValueError: If the created solution was invalid. Shows the index of the link that caused the solution to be invalid.
setOnSolutionInvalidated	None	Callable OR None function	Sets the callback function that is called when the transport solution is invalidated. See more Parameters: function (callable): The function to call when the event is triggered.
