A REAL TIME DECISION MAKING METHOD OPTIMIZATION ROUTE AND PRICING ENGINE FOR FREIGHT TRANSPORTATION (CARGO)

摘要

A real-time decision-making engine and system (100), for freight transportation, adapted for time-, route- and cost- optimization is provided. The system comprises, inter alia, a decision engine (170) based on a route optimization module (150) and providers selection module (160), implemented by graph-theory algorithms, adapted to find the shortest path between the source- and the target- nodes. The sum of the weight of its constituent edges are minimized such that said freight transportation is optimized according to said user preference and best results are presented. The decision making optimization engine is applicable to huge amounts of data, even larger than that which is commonly known as "big" data throughout the entire cargo chain.
