<p>MJC<sup>2</sup>'s routing & scheduling software is designed for large, complex operations that require powerful, flexible solutions to address challenging planning, routing and optimization problems. Our routing tools are designed to address a wide range of scheduling and vehicle routing problems, including truck routing, mobile workforce optimization, dynamic delivery route planning, real-time collection scheduling and home delivery routing. For further details please see the following sections

<p>Our systems are fast enough to automatically reschedule large operations in real-time, and are flexible enough to take account of detailed business rules and constraints. Our least cost routing algorithms have consistently out-performed all other systems in benchmarking tests in terms of quality of output, speed of scheduling and ease of use. Furthermore their capacity to model the operation accurately ensures feasible, efficient routing solutions.</p>

<h1><a name="vehicle routing software"></a>Vehicle Routing Software & Routing Tools</h1>
<p>
Our vehicle routing solutions are designed to address large, complex vehicle routing problems for which it is necessary to adopt an integrated approach to planning and scheduling to achieve real savings. Our dynamic vehicle planning systems are capable of automatically rescheduling very large operations in a matter of seconds, enabling continuous optimization of network activity in response to real-time events.
</p>
<p>
MJC<sup>2</sup>'s vehicle routing systems include the following routing tools & route optimization capabilities:
<ul>
<li>Trip routing and optimization based on customisable criteria and constraints</li>
<li>Automatic delivery routing and collection routing based on customer orders/demands</li>
<li>Truck routing taking account of delivery windows and site constraints</li>
<li>Multi-site vehicle routing and distribution planning</li>
<li>Driver scheduling taking account of required breaks and WTD (Working Time Directive)</li>
<li>Integrated optimization of depot/warehouse activity</li>
<li>Detailed rendering of maps, showing routes, distribution centres, delivery points, collection points, manufacturing sites, etc.</li>
<li>Integrated journey planner software and truck routing maps</li>
<li>Report generation, vehicle performance monitoring and driver performance monitoring</li>
<li>Generation of time/distance matrices based on route optimization</li>
<li>Geographic cost-profiling and strategic network planning</li>
</ul>
</p>
<p>
The system takes as input the collections/deliveries to be made, the fleet & drivers available, as well as rules relating to shifts, drivers' breaks (WTD rules), site constraints and time constraints. Using this information the system's vehicle routing algorithms calculate the delivery routes and/or collection routes to meet required time windows, while assigning routes to resources (vehicles and drivers).
</p>
<p>
Our vehicle routing tools can take into account operational rules and constraints such as:
<ul>
<li>Vehicle routing taking one-way streets into account
<li>Trip routing taking restricted junctions into account
<li>Varying speeds by road type and time of day
<li>Trip routing of vehicles to avoid toll roads and toll bridges (least cost routing)
<li>Delivery routing taking account of customer access constraints by time of day
<li>Night time/weekend lorry routing controls (e.g. the London 'Brown' routes)
<li>Weight restrictions (e.g. for truck routing)
<li>Height restrictions (e.g. for truck routing)
<li>Trip routing vehicles taking account of congestion charges (least cost routing)
<li>Vehicle routing costs per mile/km
<li>Vehicle routing costs per hour
<li>Weight related vehicle routing costs
<li>Altitude related truck routing costs (e.g. trip routing to reduce hill climbing)
</ul>

<h1><a name="dynamic route planning software"></a>Dynamic Route Planning Software</h1>
<p>
MJC<sup>2</sup> is the market leading provider of real-time route scheduling and optimization systems. Our dynamic route planner software is able to schedule and reschedule very large distribution & transport operations in real-time, responding automatically to live data feeds from orders databases, vehicle tracking systems (e.g. GPS), telematics and fleet management systems.
</p>
<p>
Integration of MJC<sup>2</sup>'s vehicle routing tools and scheduling systems with vehicle tracking provides automatic real-time re-optimization of the operation and alerts the planner to issues such as late arrivals, vehicle breakdowns, working time directive (WTD) exceptions, route variations, etc.
</p>
<p>Our real-time vehicle routing tools are designed to address complex, highly dynamic environments, with applications such as retail distribution scheduling, home delivery routing, bulk collection and delivery planning, 3PL operations scheduling, freight & logistics scheduling, express delivery routing, construction materials and aggregates delivery planning, transport network optimization, passenger transport routing and collection/distribution optimization.

<h1><a name="trip routing software"></a>Mobile Workforce Routing Software</h1>
<p>
Our employee scheduling software is designed for mobile workforces for which it is necessary to model geographical and operational factors. MJC<sup>2</sup>'s mobile workforce routing software can be used for applications such as:
<ul>
<li>Dynamic routing of engineers</li>
<li>Field service automation</li>
<li>Trip routing and scheduling of survey staff</li>
<li>Sales force automation and scheduling of sales staff routes</li>
<li>Routing for roadside recovery drivers</li>
<li>Real-time routing of utilities engineers</li>
<li>Dynamic optimization of mobile workforces</li>
</ul>
</p>
<p>Taking into account operational factors such as employee skills/training, shift patterns, time windows for jobs, routing considerations, urgency, variable job completion times, site opening times, etc. the system automatically generates personnel job schedules, including visit sequence and trip routing. Schedules can be created in advance for operational or strategic planning, and can be updated dynamically in response to real-time events.</p>
<p>MJC<sup>2</sup>'s mobile workforce optimization suite includes mobile data capture solutions, survey-building tools, workflow management systems, real-time notification systems, vehicle/employee tracking, parts inventory management, integrated spare parts supply chain planning and report generation capabilities. </p>

<h1><a name="least cost routing software"></a>Least Cost Routing Software</h1>
<p>MJC<sup>2</sup>'s route optimisation algorithms can address a wide range of vehicle routing problems. Our least cost routing systems can take account of standard factors such as time and distance, but we are also able to provide configured or tailored solutions which consider other aspects of the route when optimising. The speed and flexibility of our route optimisation algorithms enables our systems to solve even very large vehicle routing problems, often taking as little as a few seconds to run a complete optimisation.
