All I am about to start work on a trucking module for a Tractor/Trailer delivery company This company does local and long distance deliveries mostly but not all of them are Less than truck load. The company is currently manually shifting products from different trucks on a route based system. These loads are stacked on a flat open trailer and a mounted crane unloads the products at the sites or a forklift/tollmotor at a down stream distributor. 80% of loads are less than truck load, meaning that they have two or more orders consisting of different products usually strapped together.
First step is the route http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traveling_salesman_problem likely using the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greedy_algorithm which affects the loading sequence that would need a solution like http://www.astrokettle.com/pr2dlp.html and then inventing the system http://www2.isye.gatech.edu/~mwps/publications/EKSDynDriverRevision.pdf Basically I am in this for the long haul (pun). If anyone would like to offer insight into such a system I would like that. I want to write this once correctly not five times incorrectly. -- --- Andrew Latham - AKA: LATHAMA (lay-th-ham-eh) [EMAIL PROTECTED] - [EMAIL PROTECTED] If any of the above are down we have bigger problems than my email!
