Abstract: Systems, methods, and other embodiments for vehicle route scheduling and navigation with dynamic selection of turns across opposing traffic are presented herein. In one embodiment, a method includes during development of a vehicle route from an arrival link through a node of a graph representing a road network, determining, for a departure link, that a path of the vehicle from the arrival link to the departure link crosses oncoming traffic, and in response to determining that that the path of the vehicle crosses oncoming traffic, adding an additional delay for the departure link to a route objective function representing the vehicle route; selecting the route including the path that crosses oncoming traffic to be an optimum route between a first location and a second location; including the optimum route in the delivery schedule for the vehicle; and transmitting the delivery schedule for execution.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and other embodiments associated with computing and assigning a task to be performed using a resource at a candidate time are described. In one embodiment, a method includes accessing a scheduling data structure and analyzing data records for tasks, upon which the resource depends, to be performed using one or more other resources, and tasks, upon which other resources depend, to be performed using the resource. A candidate time for performing the task using the resource is calculated based upon dependencies determined between various tasks, and a candidate schedule is generated using the candidate time for the task. The scheduling data structure is modified and regenerated based upon the candidate schedule if the candidate schedule is determined to have a greater performance score than an existing schedule.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and other embodiments associated with controlling a display screen for scheduling tasks with graphical objects are described. In one embodiment, a method includes in response to receiving a request to modify a scheduling data structure, determining that the request is directed towards scheduling a first task. The example method may also include analyzing the scheduling data structure to identify candidate time slots usable to satisfy the request. The example method may also include controlling a display screen to display graphical objects that correspond to the candidate time slots. The example method may also include in response to receiving user input, via a graphical object, that selects a first time slot from the candidate time slots, generating a set of scheduling instructions.
