Map Control |
 |
Using MapInfo’s
MapX engine, Users can manipulate the map effectively.
(Zoom in and out, move) |
 |
The up-to-date
digital map provides real-time tracks of vehicles
accurately. |
 |
The built-in
KML export tool allows planners to export the
selected planned route in KML format and view
the animated route in 3D Google Earth. |
| |
 |
| |
|
Automatic Address Locator |
 |
Automatically
search for and display the location of the customer
on the map immediately as its address is entered.
|
 |
Automatically
display the latitude and longitude of the customer
location on the map. |
 |
Allow planners
to modify the location effectively and dynamically
by clicking the desired location on the map.
|
 |
The built-in
intelligent conversion engine can convert addresses
to the latitude and longitude coordinates in
batch mode. |
| |
 |
| |
|
|
Optimal Route Searching |
 |
With advanced
travel time estimating engine and the most accurate
digital network data, LUCIAN can find out the
optimal route considering speed limit of different
types of roads and driver experience. |
 |
You can set
the speed limit of the roads that have traffic
jam frequently or close some dangerous roads,
L UCINA will find out the optimal alternative
route automatically. |
 |
Using algorithm
of considering traveling distance and speed,
the route planner can accurately calculate estimated
vehicle arrival and departure times. |
| |
 |
| |
|
Delivery Sequence |
 |
While delivery,
the rule, from a near one to far one, will be
taken to reduce the consumption of fuel.
|
 |
While pickup,
the rule, from a far one to near one, will be
taken to meet the real operation requirements. |
 |
Delivery and
Pickup operation can be executed by the same
truck to improve the trucks utilization and
decrease transportation cost. |
| |
|
Directive Delivery |
 |
One-way traffic condition
will be considered while scheduling. |
 |
Across restrictions
on two-way street will be considered while scheduling. |
| |
 |
| |
|
Time Window |
|
Orders will be delivered
on time and within the optimal selected time
window among the assigned ones. |
 |
Loading and
unloading in distribution center within assigned
time window. |
 |
Delivery or
pickup at customer site within the assigned
time window. |
 |
Select the optimal
time window among the ones assigned by customers
automatically. |
| |
|
Measure Scale Setting |
|
Multiple scale measures
for selection. Apply to real word operation
completely. |
 |
Measure scales
selection; Wight, Volume (volume, pellet, rack,
box, container, and etc.) |
 |
Take both weight
and volume into account while scheduling. |
| |
|
Vehicles and Types
Constrains |
|
Find out the best combination
of types of vehicles while scheduling |
 |
Select the most
cost-saving types of vehicles automatically
|
 |
Decide the most
cost-saving numbers of vehicles. |
 |
Select vehicles
and types of vehicles according to the requests
of customers. |
| |
|
Volume Utilization |
|
Define maximum load factor
of multi-set containers. |
| |
|
Loading and Unloading
time at Distribution Center and Customer Site |
 |
Allow planner to set different
loading and unloading time according to various
types of vehicles on the basis of weight and
volume of packages. |
 |
It will take
both weight and volume loaded into account while
calculating the loading and unloading time. |
| |
|
Start Station and Destination |
 |
Company-own vehicles departure
from and come back to distribution center. |
 |
Contracted vehicles
departure from distribution but the destination
is the last customer site and not need to come
back to distribution center. |
 |
The vehicles
of different distribution centers can support
each other to improve the utilization. |
| |
|
Working Time for Vehicles
and Drivers |
 |
Planner can set working
time windows for each vehicle. |
 |
Planner can
set maximum working time and overtime. |
 |
Apply to 24
hours run operation. |
 |
Apply to day
load-day deliver, night load- night deliver
and preload, night load-next day deliver. |
| |
|
Trips of Each Vehicle |
|
One trip is defined as
vehicles departure from distribution center
and come back to distribution center while orders
are delivered. |
 |
Allow planner
to set the maximum trips to each vehicle. |
 |
Allow planner
to set maximum orders and customers of one trip
to each vehicle. |
| |
|
Transportation Cost
(Fixed Cost and Variable Cost) |
 |
Per unit transportation
cost of weight and volume capacity |
 |
Fixed cost,
per kilometer and per minute transportation
cost |
 |
Overtime cost
and the cost of number of sites delivered |
 |
Delay and undelivered
penalty cost |
| |
|
Plan Changes Depends
on Situation |
 |
In normal cases, it doesn’t
need to consider income and cost, and manage
to deliver all orders with minimum cost as possible.
|
 |
When it needs
to consider cost, LUCINA will compare the income
with cost to decide company own cars or contracted
cars to deliver the orders automatically.
|
| |
|
Graphical Drag and
Drop Editor |
 |
Allow planners to add, remove,
and change vehicles of planned routes effectively. |
 |
Adjust routes
for adapting on-demand orders or the changes
of delivery priority. |
 |
Change orders
among planned vehicles dynamically. |
 |
Display up-to-date
information of changed vehicles on the Gantt
chart and issue an alert if the change violates
any constraint of resource availability and
usage. |
| |
 |
| |
|
Amount of Orders Increase
Severely in Peak Period |
 |
If the amount of the orders
increasing a lot in peak period, the system
could make the vehicles nearby support each
other without changing the planed schedule on
the condition that they still have enough capacity
and time. |
| |
|
New Customers Occur |
 |
When new customer occurs,
system will find out the optimal solution of
delivery including which vehicle to deliver,
delivery sequence and estimated arrive time
quickly. And you can control the changes of
cost when the new customer occurs in advance.
