Abstract
A system and method for optimizing traveled routes of a fleet. The method comprises reconstructing routes traveled by vehicles of the fleet based on historical GPS traces of the fleet; determining stops made by the vehicles along the traveled routes; and classifying the stops into work stops and non-work stops; and optimizing routes for the work stops.
Claims20
A method for optimizing traveled routes of a fleet, the method comprising:
- reconstructing routes traveled by vehicles of the fleet based on historical GPS traces of the fleet;
- determining stops made by the vehicles along the travelled routes;
- determining a work shift of a fleet by:
- using statistical analysis of the historical GPS traces to determine a first time when vehicle activity is at a first level,
- using statistical analysis of the historical GPS traces to determine a second time when the vehicle activity is at second level, and
- determining the work shift using the first time and the second time;
- classifying the stops into work stops and non-work stops;
- optimizing routes for covering the work stops,
- wherein information associated with the optimized routes is used to redistribute one or more vehicles, of the vehicles, to minimize a quantity of vehicles used to cover the work stops based on the work shift;
- and
- providing the information associated with the optimized routes to at least one of:
- selected vehicles of the fleet, or
- an identified fleet with similar characteristics to the fleet.
10 more elements
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions, the instructions comprising:
- one or more instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a device, cause the one or more processors to:
- reconstruct routes traveled by vehicles of a fleet based on historical GPS traces of the fleet;
- determine a work shift of a fleet,
- wherein the one or more instructions, that cause the one or more processors to determine the work shift, cause the one or more processors to:
- use statistical analysis of the historical GPS traces to determine a first time when vehicle activity is at a first level,
- use statistical analysis of the historical GPS traces to determine a second time when the vehicle activity is at a second level, and
- determine the work shift using the first time and the second time;
- determine stops made by the vehicles along the travelled routes;
- classify the stops into work stops and non-work stops;
- optimize routes for the work stops,
- wherein information associated with the optimized routes redistribute one or more vehicles, of the vehicles, to minimize a quantity of vehicles used to cover the work stops based on the work shift;
- and
- provide the information associated with the optimized routes to at least one of:
- selected vehicles of the fleet, or
- an identified fleet with similar characteristics to the fleet.
12 more elements
A device comprising:
- one or more memories;
- and
- one or more processors to:
- reconstruct routes traveled by vehicles of a fleet based on historical GPS traces of the fleet;
- determine a work shift of a fleet, wherein the one or more processors, when determining the work shift, are to:
- use statistical analysis of the historical GPS traces to determine a first time when vehicle activity is at a first level,
- use statistical analysis of the historical GPS traces to determine a second time when the vehicle activity is at a second level, and
- determine the work shift using the first time and the second time;
- determine stops made by the vehicles along the travelled routes;
- classify the stops into work stops and non-work stops;
- optimize routes for the work stops,
- wherein information associated with the optimized routes redistribute one or more vehicles, of the vehicles, to minimize a quantity of vehicles used to cover the work stops based on the work shift;
- and
- provide the information associated with the optimized routes to at least one of:
- selected vehicles of the fleet, or
- an identified fleet with similar characteristics to the fleet.
