Viamente offers turnkey solutions for the veichle routing based on its own proprietary Routing Optimization and Scheduling Engine. Viamente keeps investing in maths and cloud computing with the final goal to support a green economy of mobility.

1. Route planning, how can math support? September2009 info@viamente.com

2. N destinations require to be visited… …with M vehicles (and all vehicles will have to have driven back to their own end destinations before the working day is finished)

4. Viamente computes optimal routing… …visit the Demo area on www.viamente.com

5. …as to meet goals… …visit the Demo area on www.viamente.com

6. …while honoring all logistic contraints. …visit the Demo area on www.viamente.com

7. Typical usage Upload the needs of destinations are available in Transport Company ERP/database Transport Company 1 ( )

8. Interface ERP, Information Systems and internal applications of Transport Company invoke Viamente services sending needs of each destination, available resources and logistic constraints. Communication is based upon standard Soap web services Transport Company 2 Soap

10. New GIS applications developed by trusted integrators

11. New GIS applications developed by ViamenteERP, Information Systems and internal applications of Transport Company invoke Viamente services sending needs of each destination, available resources and logistic constraints. Communication is based upon standard Soap web services Transport Company 2 Soap

12. Computation and Cartography Transport Company 3 Viamente servers compute routing as to maximize goals achievements while respecting the logistic contraints. Computation engines works on a dataset built on cartography updated every 6 months, to ensure the appropriate streets are considered. The process is as quick as a few seconds per each https request Algorithm Engine Cartography

13. Routes delivery Viamente services respond back to invocations in just a few seconds e provide the optimal routes in form ordered sequences of coordinates (or addresses) for any further integration. trasportatore 4 Veicolo A: latlong1, latlong2, latlong3, … Veicolo B: latlong1, latlong2, latlong3, … Veicolo C: latlong1, latlong2, latlong3, … Veicolo D: … … (+link for print e.g. su google maps) Soap

15. Off or On- line upload on GPS

16. Available GIS applications

17. Dedicated GIS application

18. …Transport Company 5 (internal cartography not needed) Powered by on Google Maps API

19. Additional services Transport Company 6 In case of too many logistic constraints, optimal routes could not fully saturate vehicles time and some available resources could be potentially wasted. Computing isochrones (all points that can be reached within a certain amount of time) helps identifying whom to offer the residual resource availability, as destinations in those areas might be in position to take the chance. 5 min 7 min 10 min

20. Integrating GPS/GPRS In case of GPS trackers, the current vehicle position get tracked and at every update of destinations’ needs, routes can be hence re-computed in real time and pushed back via GSP/GPRS Transport Company 7 MNO/MVNO Current position of vehicles

22. improvement of trafic-jam hour estimation

25. Don’t be greedy! Local minimum isn’t minimum.

27. Don’t be greedy! Local minimum isn’t minimum.

28. Using common sense with careThe apparent segmentation in sectors should not imply an immediate assigment to vehicles: see here which routes minimize total driving time! Even if this destination looks very close, it shouldn’t be visited by this vehicle as this may impact on general efficiency.

29. Concluding… …Viamente offers: Computation engines for routing optimization Easy integration with existing ERP and with dedicated developments Yearly fee GIS development Requirement analysis, specification , development, test Professional services …thanks
