Route Grouping Engine: Optimization Strategies¶

Core Algorithm Design¶

The route grouping engine transforms raw delivery data into optimized, efficient routes through a sophisticated multi-stage process.

graph LR
    A[Raw Orders] -->|Distance Matrix| B[Initial Groups]
    B -->|Optimization| C[Refined Groups]
    C -->|Constraints| D[Final Routes]

    style B fill:#bbf,stroke:#333,stroke-width:2px
    style C fill:#bbf,stroke:#333,stroke-width:2px
    style D fill:#bbf,stroke:#333,stroke-width:2px

TypeScript Interface¶

interface RouteGroupProps {
  orders: Order[];
  groupingStrategy: GroupingStrategy;
  constraints: RouteConstraints;
  onGroupingComplete: (groups: OrderGroup[]) => void;
}

Optimization Dimensions¶

1. Distance Minimization¶

• Euclidean distance calculations
• Nearest neighbor clustering
• Dynamic route recalculation

2. Time Window Constraints¶

• Delivery time preferences
• Vehicle capacity limits
• Priority order handling

3. Cost Efficiency¶

• Fuel consumption modeling
• Route length optimization
• Minimal vehicle switching

Machine Learning Integration¶

• Predictive route suggestions
• Historical performance analysis
• Continuous algorithm improvement

Performance Metrics¶

• Average route efficiency
• Grouping computation time
• Constraint satisfaction rate
