In ArcGIS you can specify emergency vehicle, and can also calculate for distribution of multiple vehicles to multiple targets: https://developers.arcgis.com/labs/arcgisonline/route-multip...

Would love to see a free version of this. The closest I found is Optaplanner: https://docs.optaplanner.org/7.4.1.Final/optaplanner-docs/ht...

Please note that this is the chinese postman problem (visit every edge), which is different to the VRP - the vehicle routing problem (visit many nodes).

And VRP needs a routing engine to decide about the shortest distances between the nodes (usually with a distance matrix).


In OptaPlanner you can grab the Vehicle Routing web application (called optaweb-vehicle-routing) and add any custom constraints that are specific to your use case such as emergency vehicles: https://www.optaplanner.org/learn/useCases/vehicleRoutingPro...
