Using Advanced Algorithms to Optimize Concrete Delivery

Concrete suppliers are faced with an impressive number of operational challenges – including the acquisition of raw materials, scheduling production facilities, and (obviously) the actual delivery of concrete. This research leverages advanced algorithms to find efficient routes for a fleet of (heterogeneous) vehicles that commute between concrete production centers and construction sites, while adhering to strict scheduling and routing constraints. Or in other words: how can concrete suppliers serve more customers in less time? Based on new, data sets with real-world constraints, this demo shows a visualization of the generated solutions. In addition, an instant optimization of the waste is performed.status: publishe
