Thermal map - objective situation on the roads

Image
Unfortunately, there is no general database where you can monitor the state of roads. Therefore, logisticians do not always manage to respond to changes in the road situation in a timely manner, which means to promptly close and open roads in the service (or OSM map)  and to correctly build traffic routes. How can a logistician find out whether traffic has resumed in a certain area?  ANT-Logistics has added a new feature that allows you to display the actual traffic on the roads. For this, a thermal map is used, on which the intensity of traffic is displayed in a gradation from green to red. If there is no movement, marks will also be absent in these areas. Information is displayed based on data from GPS trackers for the last 5 days. Let's give an example - during the war, a bridge was destroyed in the village of Borshchiv, Kyiv region. Thus, vehicles had to make a big hook while driving from Kyiv to Poltava. This hook is clearly visible on the thermal map. Therefore, the logistici

A new platform for users of ANT-Logistics - join in the creation!

Image
Business growth and an increase of orders requires more and more resources. In this case, companies cannot always independently ensure the timely delivery of orders - there are not enough vehicles, employees, etc. It is at the moment when it is time to seek help from third-party services and use a hired vehicle. But in the current conditions of the economic crisis, this decision is not always lucrative, since the payment of rented vehicles often "eats up" the additional profit that was obtained due to increased sales. Companies in search of a way out of the above-mentioned situation realized that the optimal solution is to cooperate with other businesses for mutual assistance and saving resources. They wrote to the developers of ANT-Logistics with an initiative to create a platform for users of ANT-Logistics, which allows you to offer your transport or, on the contrary, hire free vehicles offered.  What are the possible advantages of using this platform? Verified users. With

Optimal routing - delivery of building materials

Image
 The delivery of building materials is perhaps the most difficult to route, and this is primarily due to the fact that the delivered products have different characteristics in terms of weight and volume. So, for example, a car with a carrying capacity of 1500 kg and a body volume of 8m3 can transport up to 1m3 of bricks weighing up to 1500 kg, but at the same time, 1500 kg of foam plastic with a volume of 100m3 will no longer fit in the vehicle. This example shows while planning routes, weight and volume are taken into account simultaneously, and exceeding one of the parameters, even if the other parameter still does not exceed the vehicle's capabilities, is not allowed. The system allows you to calculate the time of loading / unloading the vehicle, depending on the amount of delivered products. The system will also help to load the vehicle correctly, so that, having arrived at the point, the driver does not waste time looking for products in the back. First you need to select the
