What is route optimization?
|
|
|
According to one estimate, Americans waste more than 65 billion dollars
a year sitting in traffic.
Say you want to go to your grocery store, your bank then the Target store. Did you know there
are 6 different routes you can take? In fact, as the number of stops increases
the numbers of possible routes go up exponentially. For 4 stops, there
can be 24 routes and for 5 stops, there can be 120 different routes! The goal
of TrackRoad.com is to cut your travel distance and travel time. Less
distance traveled means less fuel burned, reduced gas emission in the air, reduced
tear/wear on your vehicle, reduced probability of accident and reduced insurance cost.
Not to mention customer efficiency and going home early. And the savings can
be huge.

An efficient routing system is an indispensible tool for any route. Manually routing
your fleet even on a small scale is out of the realm of human capacity and is best left
to computers. Consider the following route for one driver and 4 stops: |

It is clear to see when the above route is optimized there is a difference of over
35 miles in the route. Now take this and multiply it by the number of routes
and drivers you may have in a single day and the difference becomes even more visible. |

Auto-Dispatching
When there are multiple vehicles, optimization is only one piece of
the puzzle. The second piece is intelligent dispatching. TrackRoad.com
not only optimizes routes but it assigns them to the best matched vehicles.
Let's add VEHICLE 2 to the above route. |

In short, TrackRoad.com examines your stops and vehicles, decides which is the
best possible scenario, then assigns route to each vehicle based on several factors
like quickest route, average speed of vehicle, load capacity, max. stops, etc.
Pretty cool stuff! |
