route optimisation will revolutionise transport in your company
How? By intelligently and instantly planning sets of routes for your drivers.
Advanced route optimisation VRP (Vehicle Routing Problem) means real savings by reducing fleet operating costs. Emapa's optimisation algorithms take the following into account:
- list of stops (customers) to be visited along with their cargo requirements,
- priority of visits
- vehicle data (number, type, load capacity, combustion, etc.)
- stop time windows,
- driver data (working time, hourly cost)
- compatibility, i.e. matching of stops with the routes according to the stop-base, stop-vehicle or stop-chain rule, as preferred by the customer.
Each of the parameters may additionally contain exceptions or admissions to exceed the defined rule. This is often relevant for parameters such as the definition of time windows or maximum route costs.
In addition to the financial results, route optimisation guarantees additional benefits:
- increased efficiency of the employee who, thanks to optimised routes, can handle more orders in the same amount of time,
- increased quality and timeliness of order processing,
- elimination of unnecessary vehicles.
Emapa breaks world records in optimisation
Emapa has beaten the world's best teams in the advanced route optimisation (vrp) category 218 times
While creating and constantly improving VRP algorithms, Emapa takes part in Gehring and Homberger benchmark studies. Emapa's team keeps breaking new VRP records (in the VRPTW field - advanced route optimisation with time windows). These results are continuously verified and published on the website of the popular European research institute Sintef.
The record-breaking in the field of VRP optimisation consists in finding the smallest sum of route lengths without reducing the number of points visited (in practice: visiting all customers minimising the sum of kilometres travelled by all vehicles).

EMAPA S.A. realizuje projekt pt.: „Opracowanie uniwersalnych metod rozwiązywania zaawansowanych problemów marszrutyzacji z wykorzystaniem uczenia maszynowego”, współfinansowany w ramach Programu Operacyjnego Inteligentny Rozwój 2014-2020, Działanie: 1.1. Projekty B+R przedsiębiorstw, Poddziałanie: 1.1.1.
W związku z tym, do swojej oferty firma wprowadziła wyniki tych prac badawczych, czyli następujące parametry optymalizacji VRP:
- PDPTW (Pickup-Delivery Problem with Time Windows), czyli problemy zwózkowo-rozwózkowe z obsługą okien czasowych
- PDPTWP (Pickup-Delivery Problem with Time Windows and Profits), czyli problemy zwózkowo - rozwózkowe z obsługą okien czasowych i priorytetów
- PVRPTW (Periodic Vehicle Routing Problem with Time Windows), czyli rozwiązywanie problemów VRP z uwzględnieniem periodyczności
- VRP Bin Packing, czyli rozwiązywanie problemu plecakowego
- VRP with loading constraints, czyli obsługa zagadnienia kompatybilności (dopasowania) stopów do pojazdów, baz lub cech pojazdów (np. winda, wózek widłowy)
