📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Vehicle-order assignment costs are added to the routing data model and objective enum. Compatibility constraints use zero or infinite costs. User costs propagate through fleet construction, mismatch routing, and objective scoring. Python bindings and a routing unit test expose and validate the feature.

Changes

Vehicle order cost support

Layer / File(s) Summary
Cost contracts and storage
cpp/include/cuopt/routing/data_model_view.hpp, cpp/include/cuopt/routing/routing_structures.hpp, cpp/src/routing/fleet_order_constraints.hpp, cpp/src/routing/vehicle_info.hpp, cpp/src/routing/dimensions.cuh
The data model stores per-vehicle cost spans. Fleet and vehicle structures use double order_costs values. The VEHICLE_ORDER_COST objective and cost metadata are defined.
Constraint conversion and problem wiring
cpp/src/routing/fleet_order_constraints.cu, cpp/src/routing/problem/problem.cu, cpp/src/routing/fleet_info.hpp, cpp/src/routing/arc_value.hpp
Compatibility matrices use 0.0 for compatible pairs and +inf for infeasible pairs. User costs are validated and merged. Problem setup enables the objective and propagates cost data.
Route mismatch and objective scoring
cpp/src/routing/node/mismatch_node.cuh, cpp/src/routing/route/mismatch_route.cuh, cpp/src/routing/ges/lexicographic_search/lexicographic_search.cu
Mismatch nodes and routes store forward and backward costs. Infinite arcs contribute mismatches, while finite arcs contribute accumulated vehicle-order cost. Search rejects infinite assignments.
Public bindings and assignment validation
python/cuopt/cuopt/routing/structure/routing_utilities.pxd, python/cuopt/cuopt/routing/vehicle_routing_wrapper.pyx, cpp/tests/routing/unit_tests/vehicle_order_match.cu
Python exposes Objective.VEHICLE_ORDER_COST. A unit test verifies that vehicle-specific zero-cost assignments determine the order-to-vehicle mapping.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 0af0e

The vehicle-order cost objective is not yet merge-ready: invalid vehicle IDs or cost lengths can cause out-of-bounds access, non-finite values can produce invalid scoring, and Python users cannot configure the feature. These correctness and integration issues should be fixed before merging.

184-196: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Expose vehicle-order costs through the complete Python API

Objective.VEHICLE_ORDER_COST has native solver support, but the Python API cannot configure its costs. Add the enum declaration, public and deferred DataModel.set_vehicle_order_cost(vehicle_id, costs) methods, and the Cython wrapper. Use the native const double* interface and retain each converted float64 device buffer for the lifetime of the non-owning span. Add a Python regression test that confirms the costs steer assignments.

Validate vehicle_id and n_orders at this API boundary.

Line 348 stores any vehicle_id. populate_vehicle_order_cost later indexes order_costs_h[vehicle_id * n_orders + order_id]. An invalid ID causes out-of-bounds host-vector access.

Reject IDs outside [0, fleet_size_). Reject lengths that differ from num_orders_ before constructing the span.

Proposed fix
 {
+  cuopt_expects(vehicle_id >= 0 && vehicle_id < fleet_size_,
+                error_type_t::ValidationError,
+                "vehicle_id in vehicle_order_cost must be in [0, fleet size)");
+  cuopt_expects(n_orders == num_orders_,
+                error_type_t::ValidationError,
+                "vehicle_order_cost size must equal number of orders");
   cuopt_expects(
     costs != nullptr, error_type_t::ValidationError, "vehicle_order_cost cannot be null");
   vehicle_order_cost_[vehicle_id] = raft::device_span<double const>(costs, n_orders);
 }

As per path instructions, validate new API boundaries, especially cost-array lengths.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Validate set_vehicle_order_cost inputs before indexing the cost matrix.

set_vehicle_order_cost only checks that costs is non-null. An out-of-range vehicle_id becomes a map key and Line 148 then writes outside order_costs_h.

NaN and negative infinity also pass the current check. They can enter mismatch scoring with undefined or contradictory semantics.

Validate vehicle_id against the fleet size in data_model_view_t::set_vehicle_order_cost. Accept only finite values and positive infinity before this merge. Add regression tests for invalid IDs and non-finite values.

Guard zero-weight VEHICLE_ORDER_COST objectives

enable_objective sets the objective bit for weight 0.0. The assignment adapter then exposes VEHICLE_ORDER_COST in objective_values. Guard this call with cost_weight > 0.0 and add a zero-weight regression test.

Assert that each expected order exists before reading its assignment.

assignment[1] inserts a missing order with value 0. The first expectation then passes when order 1 was not served.

Assert the expected assignment count or key presence. Use assignment.at(...) for the value checks.
