Auto-optimization of delivery routes based on traffic and distance

Purpose

1.1. Automate dynamic optimization of delivery routes for fleet vehicles based on real-time traffic data, shortest paths, vehicle types, and delivery windows.
1.2. Automator retrieves live road information to minimize delivery time and fuel consumption, maximizing fleet efficiency.
1.3. Supports automated notifications to drivers, route re-assignments during unexpected delays, and integrates with corporate dispatching systems.
1.4. Automation supports scalable, repeatable, and error-free dispatching for high-volume, general delivery operations.

Trigger Conditions

2.1. Automated triggers on a new delivery order in the management system.
2.2. Dispatcher manually requests route recalculation.
2.3. Live traffic event or road closure alert detected by connected data providers.
2.4. Scheduled automated routines for daily/shift-based route optimization.
