Reoptimizing a day that has already started

Reoptimize rebuilds the plan for an entire operating day against the current state of the world — trips that have already completed, vehicles now out of service, and everything added since the day was first built.
Why whole-day only
Reoptimizing a subset is unsafe. The trips left out of the run still occupy vehicles and time, and a solver that cannot see them will happily produce a plan that conflicts with them. Rebuilding the whole day is the only version of this operation that produces a plan you can trust.
Running it
- Select the day in Trips. The action is available when you are looking at the whole day rather than a filtered subset of statuses.
- Start the reoptimize. Completed and in-progress trips are respected as fixed points.
- Review the revised plan before publishing it — mid-day reoptimization moves work between drivers who have already been told what their day looks like.
