Abstract
A market route recommendation method, system, and computer program product include determining a strain on a herd during travel to markets based on a dynamic factor, analyzing a potential return of the markets in at least two locations by performing real-time profiling of possible market routes based on the dynamic factor influencing the strain on the herd, and identifying an optimal path to one of the markets based on a minimal strain on the herd and a maximum potential return of the one of the markets.
Claims20
A computer-implemented market route recommendation method, the method comprising:
- determining a strain on a herd during travel to markets based on a dynamic factor;
- analyzing a potential return of the markets in at least two locations by performing real-time profiling of possible market routes based on the dynamic factor influencing the strain on the herd;
- and
- identifying an optimal path to one of the markets based on a minimal strain on the herd and a maximum potential return of the one of the markets.
A computer program product, the computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions executable by a computer to cause the computer to perform:
- determining a strain on a herd during travel to markets based on a dynamic factor;
- analyzing a potential return of the markets in at least two locations by performing real-time profiling of possible market routes based on the dynamic factor influencing the strain on the herd;
- and
- identifying an optimal path to one of the markets based on a minimal strain on the herd and a maximum potential return of the one of the markets.
A market route recommendation system, the system comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory, the memory storing instructions to cause the processor to perform:
- determining a strain on a herd during travel to markets based on a dynamic factor;
- analyzing a potential return of the markets in at least two locations by performing real-time profiling of possible market routes based on the dynamic factor influencing the strain on the herd;
- and
- identifying an optimal path to one of the markets based on a minimal strain on the herd and a maximum potential return of the one of the markets.
