Incorporating Traffic Patterns to Improve Delivery Performance

Evidence suggests that incorporating travel time data in route plan development produces improved solutions compared to standard, deterministic approaches. A holistic approach was used to evaluate the delivery process, determine why differences exist between route planning methods, examine the impact of drivers’ actions, and consider opportunities for further exploration.
