Routeplanning for Transportation Companies

The Challenge

Challenges for Vehicle Routing and Dispatch include

    1. strategic level: where to invest, e.g. in warehouses, in distribution points, in main routes, in equipment.
    2. tactical level: based on the investments made, the demands from customers and partners available, what is the best plan for this month/week.
    3. operational level: how to react, almost realtime, on illness of truck drivers, traffic jams, trucks that break down, customers who have last minute demands.
