    Abstract: Techniques for generating geographical units that can be used to generate delivery routes are described herein. Geospatial vector data and barrier geospatial vector data for a geographical area may be obtained. Seed points for one or more portions of the geographical area may be determined based at least in part on historical delivery volume for the geographical area. A plurality of polygons that represent the geographical area may be determined based at least in part on an algorithm that uses the seed points, the geospatial vector data, and the barrier geospatial vector data. Coordinates for a geographical unit of a plurality of geographical units that divide the geographical area may be determined based at least in part on the plurality of polygons and a polygon-to-polygon barrier aware drive time matrix that identifies a calculated cost for traveling from one polygon to another polygon using barriers identified in the barrier geospatial vector data.

    Abstract: A method of optimizing a delivery route for a delivery vehicle driver and a delivery assistant includes: identifying a delivery route for a delivery vehicle; determining, for each of the packages to be delivered using the delivery route, a first delivery time for a delivery vehicle driver of the delivery vehicle to deliver the respective package without the delivery assistant, a second delivery time for a delivery assistant of the delivery vehicle to deliver the respective package without the delivery vehicle driver, and a third delivery time for both the delivery assistant and the delivery vehicle driver to deliver the respective package; determining minimum times needed by the delivery vehicle driver and the delivery assistant to deliver the packages using the delivery route; and determining that a minimum of the estimated total delivery times corresponds to a first subset and a second subset of the packages.
