The proposed framework is based on a novel concept called time capacity, which calculates the time required to transport a unit quantity of water between two points. The total time needed to supply water is determined by multiplying this amount by the total volumeof water that has to be transported. “Balancing this calculated total time and total available time in the planning period for fulfilling the tanker delivery order, we have made the frame work computationally efficient to generate optimal tanker routing connections between the watersource and the customer,” explains Prof Gudi.
