Routemate can be configured adding to the basic module a set of modules, that the user can choose on the basis of his needs.

• Basic Module.
• Operational Constraints.
• Road Map Editing.
• Optimization.
• Transit Platforms.
• pricing Policies.
• Dinstance and Time Matrix.
• Geographic Areas.
• User Distances.

Modulo Base

Some of its functions are:

• Computation of shortest paths among two or more places;
• Import/Export of routes and orders with the company information system;
• Evaluation of the cost of imported routes;
• Manual planning and optimization of each single route.

Operational Constraints

All main real-world constraints are managed, for example: time windows, vehicle objections, drivers working time, compartmented vehicles, pickup and delivery, etc.

Road Map Editing

Routemate uses its own road digital network, in order to compute distances and travel times. The user can customize the map, modifying, adding and removing locations and roads.

Optimization

Operational routes are produced by advanced optimization algorithms, designed to consider real-world constraints and requirements.

Transit Platforms

It is possible to decide whether to directly serve a customer or to make use of transit platforms associated to him. Routemate computes distributions costs from depots to platforms and from platforms to customers.

Pricing Policies

The cost of a route can be computed according to different pricing policies, based on kilometers, weights, etc.

Dinstance and Time Matrix

The user can generate a matrix specifying distances and travel times between every pair of locations from a given list. Such matrix can be exported to the information system.

Geographic Areas

The orders of a problem can be partitioned into geographic areas. Each area so obtained defines a subproblem which can be solved using only the vehicles associated with it.

User Dinstances

It is possible to specify distances between pairs of locations different from those resulting from the road network.
