Abstract:
An ad-hoc logistics solution can identify optimal solutions for the spatio-temporal problem of adding a transport to the route calendar of a transport vehicle.□ For example, an initial set of transport assignments that may be added to a route calendar of a driver of a vehicle can be identified by eliminating potential transport assignments for which the vehicle does not meet equipment and/or accessibility criteria for a location associated with the potential transport assignment, and suggestions can be found for insertion of a candidate transport assignment from the initial set of transport assignments into the route calendar. The suggestions can be validated by applying a set of constraints to determine whether each suggestion is feasible and then ranked such that a highest ranked suggestion is placed into the route calendar.
