Route optimization

Route Optimization is aimed at evaluating the optimized route to connect a range of geographical points while following a network pattern.

Business Geografic’s Route Optimization GEO Service analyses the road network pattern to calculate and identify, among all possible combinations, the shortest or quickest way to connect all of your geographical points by road.

Process

Efficient route

The algorithm calculates, from the geographical coordinates of each point, the distances between one given point and every other point. The algorithm then simulates all possible route combinations and calculates the total distances of each route so as to identify the shortest or quickest way to connect all points.

Calculations are based on the road network. All routes can be exported in a various range of standardized data formats.

Are you working within an Administration or a local authority? Should you need to integrate your own data into your Route Optimization calculations, please contact us; hundreds of administrations and local authorities chose Business Geografic’s GIS platform to fulfill their mapping needs.

Are you in the Transportation, Logistics or Collection & Delivery sectors? You might wish to take your own, specific business constraints into account. Please contact us as well; thousands of private companies all over the world chose Business Geografic’s mapping technologies to process their geographical and business data.

Route optimization, the main steps

After calculation, the GEO Service displays:

- a sequencing proposal to connect all points
- distance and time to reach the following point
- the average speed to reach the following point
- the geometry of the path to the following point
