Route Efficiency

It may not sound like the most complicated of operations, but without efficient mapping, the simple business of driving from A to B could waste time and money. Route efficiency is a natural element of a transport company's energy efficiency program which in turn feeds into its fuel saving and carbon reduction KPIs.

fleetinsight™ implements route optimisation using Microsoft's Bing mapping technology to provide it's Route Efficiency services. By comparing the time and distance of each journey against an intelligent route planning system, fleetinsight™ monitors and reports on how well drivers perform.

Route Scheduling

The fleetinsight™ route scheduling module enables the scheduler to assign a list of stops, drops and collections to a vehicle in the optimal route order with an option to begin and or end at the base depot or another depot.

The system's planning entities are vehicles, depots, collections and drops. Currently it is assumed that the vehicle stop list is pre-designated. If a vehicle schedule changes after optimisation all points not yet serviced will be run through the scheduling algorithm again generating a revised stop list.

Vehicle and date information can be uploaded from third party systems in a number of standard formats. The system compares the planned stops against the POI list in the system. If a stop is found which is not within an existing database, the system creates a new POI at this location with the identity provided in the stop list. The system creates a job list for each vehicle each day or a revised list after schedule changes are requested.
