Challenges Can Prohibit Routing Software Adoption Despite Innovations
Summary
However, the navigation software alone doesn’t satisfy a complex network of waste collection trucks in either residential or commercial situations,” says Lasse Jiborn, director of intelligent optimization at AMCS Group.“The navigational software in today’s handhelds, albeit sophisticated, including somewhat reliable up-to-the-minute weather and traffic conditions, aren’t enough to solve the complex challenges of a fleet of waste trucks.”RouteSmart’s solvers for each segment of the public works industry (residential, commercial, roll‐off, street service) are what make the solutions stand out, according to Cearfoss.In addition to the solvers, the solution relies on GIS (geographic information systems) technologies on the Esri platform, as well as current street data.“If the operation is not satisfied, then route optimization has the ability to drop a bundle on that bottom line by reducing the number of vehicles, work hours, overtime, etc.”
