ROUTE PLANNING
The route planning program area is the central component of PTV Smartour (now PTV Route Optimizer). This is where all the relevant planning objects from SAP system are displayed. Automatic routing and scheduling creates optimized trips, but you also have the option to manually create or adjust trips. You can create daily and weekly schedules as well as strategic fixed route schedules. PTV Smartour offers full flexibility.
The following planning objects are available:
-
Orders (deliveries, pick-ups, A to B)
-
Vehicles (actual vehicles and vehicles types)
-
Trailers (actual trailers and trailer types)
-
Vehicle combinations (vehicles with trailers)
-
Depots
-
Drivers
-
Trips
-
Forwarders (using the additional Cargo module)
-
Single or multi-day trips
PTV Smartour supports your trip planning with an intelligent suggestion system, which can be particularly useful when planning additional orders.
PTV Smartour lets you plan mixed transports. You can plan depot related orders such as deliveries from a depot or collections from a pick-up point as well as A to B orders (pick-up at location A, drop off at location B).
