Delivery Route Optimizer
Smart logistics system that evaluates capacity, traffic, time windows, and distance to determine the most efficient delivery routes for maximum efficiency.
Solution
This route optimization system maximizes delivery efficiency by analyzing multiple critical factors before selecting the optimal path. It evaluates vehicle capacity utilization to ensure resources are used effectively while considering real-time traffic congestion data to avoid delays. The system factors in delivery time windows to prioritize time-sensitive deliveries and calculates route distances to minimize fuel consumption and delivery times.
Each route receives a comprehensive scoring based on these factors, with classifications ranging from "optimal" to "not recommended." The system provides clear approval status and detailed reasoning for each route decision, allowing logistics managers to quickly identify the most efficient options. This enables faster deliveries, reduced operational costs, and improved customer satisfaction through reliable delivery timing.
How it works
The decision graph evaluates delivery routes through four key stages:
- Input Processing: Receives route data including capacity utilization, traffic congestion, delivery window timeframes, and distance metrics.
- Base Score Calculation: Assigns initial scores based on capacity utilization and traffic conditions, with priority levels from very low to high.
- Additional Score Computation: Calculates supplementary scores for delivery time windows and distance factors, with higher scores for shorter timeframes and distances.
- Route Classification: Determines the final route classification by evaluating the total score against predefined thresholds, resulting in a clear approval status with supporting message.
