The following applies only if you have more than one vehicle in your fleet. If
you have only one vehicle (you are the only driver) there is no need for
dispatching (all stops are assigned to a single vehicle). |
|
|
What is intelligent dispatching? |
|
|
When there is more than one vehicle, TrackRoad can intelligently assign each
stop to the most eligible vehicle. The eligibility is determined by several
factors such as distance, delivery time window, vehicle's capacity, pre-assigned
locations and other factors. Vehicle routing is a computationally complex
problem. TrackRoad hides the complexity and helps you concentrate on your task.
The only thing you need to know is which dispatching mode fits your situation. |
|
|
What is the best dispatching mode? |
|
|
Depending on the situation and the vehicle's start/finish locations you should
use different dispatching mode. The two most popular modes are Central and
MultipleRegion. In short: |
|
|
- Use Central mode if all of your vehicles start from the same exact
location such as a warehouse or a single depot
- Use MultipleRegion mode if you have vehicles that are geographically
dispersed
|
|
|
|
Central for central pickup & delivery |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
MultipleRegion when vehicles are scattered in several regions |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
SingleRegion vehicles start from same location and visit same area |
