Logistics and Operations
Maptitude 2020 allows you to model multiple-vehicle fleets for routing deliveries and pickups, automatically create balanced territories, and cluster locations based on travel costs and attributes.
The Facility Location tool supports “What if?” analyses (where the placement of new facilities is unknown) by allowing an unlimited number of target sites to be analyzed.
When modeling routes, you can set the Automatic Rest setting to be any value, and with no overnight break, allowing you to model long-haul routes while adhering to government rules such as those for interstate truck drivers in the USA.
Tutorial files now provide sheets for sample clients, sites, and depots to allow you to quickly familiarize yourself with the analytical capabilities of Maptitude.
Flexible File Format Support
Data scientists can access their favorite data sources in their preferred file formats. Interoperability with external data has been expanded with support for GeoJSON files and for Esri ArcGIS® Pro. In addition, you can connect to external services such as Microsoft Bing™ to analyze driving, public transportation, or walking travel times, or real-time travel by arrival time, departure time, and date.
Interoperability with the Maptitude API has been expanded with PostgreSQL functions and support for Intellisense in our Microsoft Visual Studio add-on.
