SYSTEM AND METHOD TO OPTIMIZE MASS TRANSPORT VEHICLE ROUTING BASED ON TON-MILE COST INFORMATION

摘要

A system and method to optimize mass transport vehicle routing based on additional ton-mile cost information are disclosed. In one embodiment a starting location and a plurality of customer locations associated with a warehouse and a plurality of customers respectively are identified. Furthermore a plurality of pairs of locations is identified using the starting location and plurality of customer locations. Mileage cost information and ton-mile cost information are then dynamically computed for each of the plurality of pairs of locations. In addition sets of mass transport vehicle routes between the starting location and plurality of customer locations are dynamically determined using the pairs of locations and a number of vehicles to be used. Moreover trip cost information is computed in real-time for each set of mass transport vehicle routes. Also an optimized set of mass transport vehicle routes is determined in real-time using the trip cost information.
