rsr.rs

1//! Relative System Response (RSR) dispatch — a composite additive
2//! cost stack.
3//!
4//! Inspired by the Otis patent lineage (Bittar US5024295A, US5146053A)
5//! and the Barney–dos Santos CGC framework. Unlike those proprietary
6//! systems, this implementation is an educational model, not a
7//! faithful reproduction of any vendor's scoring.
8//!
9//! Shape: `rank = eta_weight · travel_time + Σ penalties − Σ bonuses`.
10//! All terms are additive scalars, so they compose cleanly with the
11//! library's Kuhn–Munkres assignment. Defaults are tuned so the stack
12//! reduces to the nearest-car baseline when every weight is zero.
13//!
14//! What this deliberately leaves out: online weight tuning, fuzzy
15//! inference, and stickiness state. Those belong above the trait, not
16//! inside a strategy.

40/// Additive RSR-style cost stack. Lower scores win the Hungarian
41/// assignment.
42///
43/// See module docs for the cost shape. All weights default to `0.0`
44/// except `eta_weight` (1.0), giving a baseline that mirrors
45/// [`NearestCarDispatch`](super::NearestCarDispatch) until terms are
46/// opted in.
47///
48/// # Weight invariants
49///
50/// Every weight field must be **finite and non-negative**. The
51/// `with_*` builder methods enforce this with `assert!`; direct field
52/// mutation bypasses the check and is a caller responsibility. A `NaN` weight propagates through the multiply-add
53/// chain and silently collapses every pair's cost to zero (Rust's
54/// `NaN.max(0.0) == 0.0`), producing an arbitrary but type-valid
55/// assignment from the Hungarian solver — a hard bug to diagnose.
