Route Planning and Optimization

Travel modes are specific models of how each vehicle class is equipped to traverse roadways and interact with facilities. They help planners rapidly create optimal route plans across the fleet and stay up-to-date as conditions change.

Each mode results in custom-built directions, travel times, and travel paths that are optimized by vehicle. For example, the movement of a sprinter van on a road network may be modeled differently than a straight truck. Travel modes provide real-world routes. 

Route layers from route solvers can be shared with other enterprise applications, including mobile navigation apps or back-office optimization software.

Planners can route many vehicles at once, generate turn-by-turn directions, and determine the best order for a fleet of vehicles so it can serve a set of stops in the least amount of time.

Routing optimization requires a geoenriched network dataset providing all pertinent information, such as road limitations, weight restrictions, speeds, and live and historical traffic conditions, allowing you to adapt to real-time travel conditions while visualizing future route planning.

Route planners can monitor and analyze operations, including ETA calculations, breadcrumb route reconstruction, and location management.

Forecast and prepare for business seasonality. Ensure the most efficient resource allocation, optimal use of vehicles and employee time, and a balanced workforce where jobs are equally distributed among staff.
