  8. RoutePro • Handles wide variety of routing: • Time windows. • Long haul routing. • Local routing. • Mixed pickups and deliveries. • Backhauls. • Cross-docking (for predefined shipments). • Sequences of truckload trips. • Incorporates several solution algorithms. • Can manage vehicles, drivers, and tractors separately.

  9. RoutePro Users • Administrator • Setup system • Create load and validate data • Setup routing rules and parameters • Configure options for dispatcher • Dispatcher • Import orders • Validate data • Create routes • Analyze results • Schedule assets (assign routes to drivers) • Export routes

  10. RoutePro Objects • Required objects: • Sites (locations). • Orders. • Vehicles. • Other objects: • Road network. • Loading docks. • Products. • Time windows. • Drivers & driver teams. • Tractors. • Rush hour windows.

  11. Road Network • Can use a variety of road networks provided with RoutePro. • Administrator can edit roads and nodes. • Change speeds. • Delete roads. • Block roads. • Add roads. • Add intersections. • Make one-way or two-way.

  12. Road Network • Different colors for different road classes.

  13. Road Network • Zoom in on Boston and Cape Cod.

  14. Sites • Where orders are pickup up or delivered. • Customer, DC, plant, etc. • Can have associated dock types. • Loading dock configuration may restrict type or size of vehicles that can visit site. • Can have flexible time windows for sites. • Start time. • End time. • Maximum wait time and cost per hour. • Maximum early time and cost per hour. • Maximum late time and cost per hour.

  15. Sites • Tool deliveries from one warehouse to two types of customers.

  16. Zoom in Around Warehouse • Two way or one way roads. • Sites are not really on roads.
