Transport route planning

Calculation of the optimal route

The optimal routes for the delivery of goods are calculated in the Optimum SmartGIS geographic information system.

Taking into account many parameters when automatically constructing a route allows you to achieve the greatest automation of the process, minimizing the labor costs of the logistics department:

• All basic parameters (weight / volume / dimensions, etc.).
• Taking into account the minimum cost of the route, the maximum number of delivery points, the cost price of using vehicles, the work schedule of employees, acceptable delays, work schedule, etc.
• The ability to create new “attributes” that are taken into account when constructing a route (vehicle class, passes to “zones”, special conditions of use).
• Accounting for downtime. Time for loading and unloading operations can be taken into account both in static mode and in dynamics (depending on the volume of delivery), which makes it possible to achieve even greater accuracy when constructing routes.
• Generating reports.
• The ability to work with zones, scenarios, and the order of loading cargo.

There are more than 40 configurable route calculation parameters in total.

Route optimization example

Underloaded routes according to the customer BEFORE the implementation of Optimum SmartGIS. 41 routes. Delivered at the right time less than 70%.

 

Routes with a more dense load AFTER recalculation to Optimum SmartGIS. 19 routes. DELIVERED at the right time 100%.
