Residential Waste Collection Routes optimized for AVV

As consultants, Rapidis has produced and optimized routes for residential waste collection for AVV who is responsible for the waste collection in Hjørring and Brønderslev; 2 municipalities in Denmark with a total of app. 40.000 households.

Rapdis develop software for this specific type of route planning where you need to visit every household in a larger area like a city.  We call that “high density route planning” and it is often used for delivery of mail and printed advertisement material and for residential waste collection. As routes for residential waste collection are not subject to frequent changes, Rapidis also offer to produce routes on consultancy basis – as we have done for AVV in this case.

New Workforce Planner App for ArcGIS

Esri has recently released the App Workforce for ArcGIS. Workforce is part of your ArcGIS Online subscription.

Workforce makes it easier to organize field workers, assign tasks and get status information back into the office. Workforce works great in combination with one or more of the other Esri Apps like Navigator, Collector and Survey.

In the office you will use the Workforce Dispatcher Web App. From here you can assign tasks to individual field workers. This is a manual process.

This is why Rapidis has launched an App, Workforce Planner, that combines all the properties of Workforce with functionalities for automated scheduling and fleet optimization that you might allready know from the Rapidis Logistics Planner suite.

In every day life this means that the dispatcher can select some or all tasks from the pool together with a number of field workers and then leave it to Workforce Planner to build the best and most cost efficient overall schedule that states which tasks should bee assigned the individual field workers together with the optimized sequence for each route.

More information about Workforce Planner.

Get your free trial on Workforce Planner at ArcGIS Marketplace.

New demo of RLP GIS version for scheduling in Demand Responsive Transport

New GIS version of RLP for DRT adds new options

Rapidis Logistics Planner for scheduling and optimization in Demand Responsive Transport and Paratransit is now available in a GIS version. The service is still available as a cloud hosted service, but the GIS version gives a number of extra options like:

  • Easy to display, select and highlight locations and one or more routes on a map
  • Create and edit zones and barriers, with no driving or reduced speed
  • Scheduling for all European countries and USA
  • Scheduling with travel time affected by rush hours (available end 2015)

What to see in the demo?

For the demo we have used Esri SDK’s, that can help you fetch routes on the cloud server and display them on a map and/or send them directly to a smartphone or tablet. Rapidis are happy to help our costumers and partners to get started with the Esri SDK’s, that can be used free of charge in this “basic” version. In the demo you can also explore how the numerous demands and restrictions attached to pickups, deliveries and the buses will affect the schedules as their values are changed. Finally the demo will show how the configuration parameters that controls the actual calculations and the levels of optimizations can be used to control the scheduling.

Care to see the full demo?

If scheduling and planning in demand responsive transport is relevant for your work, we will be happy to give a full demonstration of how Rapidis Logistics Planner can help you both optimize your scheduling and reduce the factors that make the trip inconvenient for your passengers. Please contact Leif Dahl Petersen in order to schedule on online demonstration.

Rapidis is part of the IPTOP project

Rapidis has been appointed to an important role in the IPTOP project (Integrated Public Transport Optimisation and Planning) managed by the Technical University of Denmark

The research project IPTOP aims at developing new methods for planning, designing, controlling and optimizing Danish public transport systems.

The benefits for the passengers are short travelling time and better service.

Additionally the transport operators will gain economically. All together the expectations are to gain substantial societal and economic benefits compared to the overall investment.

Special attention will be given to coordination between separate transport providers so that existing services are more accessible, more reliable, and more attractive to travelers.

Rapidis will lead on software development. This ensures an early focus on implementation issues and that the modelling system in fact can be used to calculate and predict consequences from “What-if” scenarios.

Other IPTOP participants are:

  • DTU Transport – Technical University of Denmark, Transport Dept.
  • DTU Management – Technical University of Denmark, Management Dept.
  • DTU Compute – Technical University of Denmark
  • Trafikselskabet Movia – the Copenhagen area Bus transit operator
  • DSB – Danish National Railways
  • Banedanmark – Rail Net Denmark
  • Trafikstyrelsen – The Danish Transport Authority

Logistics Planner Release v. 2.3.0

This release introduces a new feature in person transport: Fixed breaks.

Logistics Planner now supports 3 different types of breaks pr. resource:

  • Fixed breaks – such as a 30 minute lunch break around noon.
  • Floating breaks – such as a 45 minute driving time regulated break for each 270 minutes driven.
  • Route splits – such as a schoolbus that must return to depot during long idle times (midday).

Logistics Planner currently supports a single break only for each resource.

This release also solves a bug i person transport that, in certain cases, causes the planner to ignore resource depot locations.
