Fleet Route Management

Route management means planning and adapting the path fleet vehicles take to conduct their daily business. The goal of route management is to put and keep the vehicle on the most efficient path. 

Route management software provides a programmatic method for planning the optimal path for a vehicle to take to reach its destination. Route management software uses many variables in determining optimal vehicle routing including traffic along the vehicle's route, speed limits, construction, tolls, etc. 

Managing routes involves identifying stops and skills needed at each stop and then assigning drivers and adapting for traffic variables. Fleet managers assign drivers routes bases on required skills and geography. Routes are typically structured with stops starting at the ones closest to the point of origin to those furthest away. Routes are adapted to account for accidents, construction, and other variables that change the optimal path as the vehicle progresses on its route.
