Green Logistics with Automated Touroptimization

JOpt.TourOptimizer comes with a built-in emission assessment and optimization scheme that allows fleet operators to determine and optimize their overall carbon dioxide emission. Besides the calculation of the overall and per route emissions, JOpt determines an optimum schedule with optimum energy efficiency in terms of truck payload to empty ratio as well as overall road mileage. Hence vehicles are automatically dispatched in a way that leads to a minimum carbon dioxide emission. Of course, all other planning objectives like time windows, load capacities, working times, and so forth keep being satisfied as well.

"Heavy-duty vehicles – trucks and buses – are responsible for about a quarter of CO2 emissions from road transport in the EU and for some 5% of total EU emissions. On 20 June 2019, the European Parliament and the Council adopted Regulation (EU) 2019/1242 setting CO2 emission standards for heavy-duty vehicles, with targets for reducing the average emissions from new lorries for 2025 and 2030„
Although there have been significant improvements over the recent years in the field of vehicle technology - particularly in fuel efficiency, which translates into lower CO2 emissions – these have not been enough to neutralize the effect of increases in traffic and car size.

"Reading the figures, DNA sees the importance of reducing emissions for road transport. Therefore, we are proud to deliver a core technology that easily enables assessment of C02 emission and energy efficiency and delivers a reasonable foundation for setting up emission reduction strategies alongside transportation networks and supply chains. With JOpt.TourOptimizer fleet operators can make their contribution to a better climate while additionally saving cost and time throughout an optimum vehicle schedule that is automatically calculated by JOpt.TourOptimizer within minutes", says Dr Marc Gerlach, DNA.
