| CMP is a truck load tour
building tool that can generate optimal matches of truck
load moves for a given set of Origin-Destination (Leg) pairs,
where each Origin-Destination pair identifies a truck load
move. It is a stand-alone Windows based application with
an extremely user-friendly interface. Problem setup and
solution generation requires minimal user interaction virtually
eliminating the learning curve on the system.
CMP needs the geographic
information about the locations that constitute each Origin-Destination
pair (Leg). Data input is in the form of flat files. Solutions
can be exported as text files into MS Word or MS Excel.
CMP uses powerful matching algorithms to generate the different
continuous moves. FeaturesData ManagementOrigin-Destination
data can be imported into CMP in the form of ASCII files.
The data import wizard guides users through the setup process
for importing Origin-Destination pair data into the system.
Very minimal data entry is required during the setup.
Continuous MovesCMP uses
robust matching algorithms to build continuous moves from
the imported Origin-Destination pairs. The algorithms are
controlled by the user-defined parameters. Calculation EngineThe
distance and time calculations required by the matching
algorithm are obtained from different sources. CMP's proprietary
engine is the quickest in terms of rate of running the calculations.
PCMiler and MapPoint are also options. Solution and PresentationTouring
solution can be exported in the form of text files. These
reports consist of detailed information on all the continuous
moves and any unmatched legs generated by the algorithm
and can be imported into MS Word or MS Excel for further
configuration. |
