The stop_duration_multiplier specifies a multiplier for the vehicle on:

For example, a large semi-truck might take longer to park than a sedan, so the semi-truck's stop durations should be scaled up in comparison.

Here is an example defining a stop duration multiplier on a vehicle. A sample output obtained after solving the problem is also shown.
