Description
VRP solver user describes a use case where 2 (non-overlapping) time windows need to be defined for a task and its location.
In this scenario, a vehicle can visit a task location in the morning or afternoon, but cannot visit during a "blackout window" such as lunch period. If there is a workaround to make the solver think there are 2 time windows, that's acceptable, but being able to define 2 time windows around this blackout window would be the correct approach.
When the task has 2 time windows, a vehicle should visit this location only once and in one of the 2 time windows specified.
