Abstract: A method for optimizing a tour having a first segment with an origination point and a destination point and a second segment with an origination point and a destination point. The method comprises: receiving first load data about a first load and second load data about a second load; evaluating a fit of the first load data on the first segment and a fit of the second load data on the first segment; evaluating a fit of the first load data on the second segment and a fit of the second load data on the second segment; ranking the relative fits of the first load data and the second load data against the first segment on a first segment list; ranking the relative fits of the first load data and the second load data against the second segment on a second segment list; assigning the load having the highest ranking fit from the first segment list to the first segment and removing that load from the second segment list; and assigning the load having the highest ranking fit from the second segment list to the segment.

Abstract: A method for tour planning. The method comprising: creating a first schematic, wherein the first schematic comprises at least a first lane between a first accent point and a second accent point; creating a tour as an instance of the first schematic, wherein the tour comprises at least a first segment corresponding to the first lane of the first schematic; and assigning a load to the first segment of the tour.

Abstract: A method for creating a tour schematic, the tour schematic having at least a first lane from a first accent point to a second accent point. The method comprising: analyzing past load history, the past load history having a plurality of load data, wherein the load data has an origination location and a destination location; creating the tour schematic based on the past load history; and validating the created schematic.
