#### Understanding objective function?

Posted by Pjotr over 1 year ago

This is how the objective function looks like:

\begin{align*} \frac{1}{60} \cdot \Big( \sum_{\textrm{SI, SR}} \textrm{entry\_delay\_weight}_{SR} \; \cdot \; max(0, t_{entry} - \textrm{entry\_latest}_{SR}) \; + \; \textrm{exit\_delay\_weight}_{SR} \; \cdot \; max(0, t_{exit} - \textrm{exit\_latest}_{SR}) \Big) + \sum_{\textrm{TRS}} \textrm{penalty}_{\textrm{route\_section}_\textrm{TRS}} \end{align*}

Can anyone please explain what sort of notation this is supposed to be? Latex? Github does not render this properly if it’s supposed to be rendered at all. It would really make my life easier if this could be expressed either in a common programming language (Python, Java) or alternatively as a printed mathematical formula (as a gif, jpg, png or whatever). In the meanwhile I recommend this: https://www.codecogs.com/eqnedit.php

We’re working on a fix for the display. Yes, it is Gitlab-flavored makrdown, which unfortunately does not display on Github.

We’re migrating the document to a Jupyter notebook. Should be ready in a few hours.
