Configuring the Engine

okay so you've already learned about docid jtrk7g3dzvw8ybiv0ite now we need to tell how optioneer how to use that data enter the "engine" 🤔 what is the engine? optioneer’s routing engine uses configured parameters in combination with an evolutionary ai routing algorithm to create sets of solutions to routing & siting problems this process is repeated millions of times for each routing & siting problem as part of the iteration process, the ai algorithm learns to generate increasingly higher scoring solutions the ai algorithm differs from other methods by consecutively optimizing solutions against multiple objectives these objectives would include criteria such as capex, engineering feasibility, environmental impact, and permitting risk the ai algorithm allows for more accurate solution generation compared to other approaches, as it takes installation methods & usage of different transmission technologies into consideration the ai algorithm allows for custom asset optimizations to meet specific project goals, such as minimising biodiversity loss, minimising visual impact, and minimising carbon impact optioneer’s routing engine generates solutions for the following automated generation of study areas and corridors routing of linear assets overhead line (all with modifiable height, foundation and span assumptions) steel tower, steel pole and wood pole underground cables selection of installation methods (trenched, hdd, auger bore, microtunnel) subsea cables siting of non linear assets, such as substations tee off points landfall locations for subsea cables optioneer’s routing engine can be run in 2 steps with minimal training define start & end points (or study area for siting) select the preferred technologies for the route (e g 132kv wood pole +/ underground cable) siting of non linear assets such as substations, tee off points, or landfall locations for subsea cables with this understanding of what the engine is , let's learn how to use it to accelerate your project development first of all we will take a look at docid\ b8bvcbnyx161x 3cx0pyf to understand what a design rule is, their different types, and how they come together to form a configuration then we will dive into docid\ mjxndkujsnslucdygwmcx , building on our knowledge of how design rules work to arrive at a fit for purpose, yet flexible, optioneering baseline
