Route Optimization is the process of finding the most efficient route for a delivery driver to take. This is a critical task for delivery businesses, as it can help to reduce costs and improve efficiency.
A navigation mesh, or Navmesh, is an abstract data structure used in artificial intelligence applications to aid agents in pathfinding through complicated spaces. This approach has been known since at least the mid-1980s in robotics, where it has been called a meadow map, and was popularized in video game AI […]
The traveling salesman problem (also called the traveling salesperson problem or TSP) asks: “Given a list of cities and the distances between each pair of cities, what is the shortest possible route that visits each city exactly once and returns to the origin city?” It is an NP-hard problem in […]
Parcel Shuttle: Bringing green delivery to Berlin and beyond with intelligent microgrids Parcel Shuttle radically lowers delivery travel distance, slashes distribution times by 25%, and reduces its carbon footprint with the Google Maps Platform. In Berlin’s urban bustle, delivery vans are as ever-present as the city’s famed street art and […]
Softbank-backed Reef, which turns parking lots into logistics hubs and ghost kitchens, has acquired a micro-warehousing startup to democratize super-fast delivery. Reef Technology, a Softbank-backed company that turns parking lots into ghost kitchens and logistics hubs, has agreed to acquire its logistics partner, Bond, for an undisclosed sum. Reef, the […]
Improve customer satisfaction and reduce costs by predicting delivery times more accurately. Delivery time forecasting is the process of predicting how long it will take to deliver a package. This can be done manually or using a software application. Delivery time forecasting is essential for delivery companies because it can […]
Keep your maps up-to-date and accurate for improved efficiency and safety Maps are an essential tool for navigation, logistics, and other applications. However, maps can quickly become outdated, inaccurate, or incomplete. This can lead to problems such as drivers getting lost, deliveries being delayed, and accidents occurring. Map management maintains […]
GeoJSON is an open standard format designed to represent simple geographical features and their non-spatial attributes. It is based on the JSON format. The features include points (therefore addresses and locations), line strings (therefore streets, highways, and boundaries), polygons (countries, provinces, tracts of land), and multi-part collections of these types. GeoJSON features need not represent entities of the physical […]

A guide to finding the shortest or most efficient route between a set of points Route optimization is the process of finding the shortest or most efficient route between a set of points. This can be done manually or using a software application. Route optimization is essential for various businesses, […]
Hill climbing is a mathematical optimization algorithm whose purpose is to find the best solution to a problem with a (large) number of possible solutions. Explaining the algorithm (and optimization in general) is best done using an example. In the Travelling salesman problem, we have a salesman who needs to […]
