JOpt.SDK
2008/08/01 - DNA has announced the latest release of their advanced logistic optimization component "JOpt.NET 2.2.3" that enables software vendors to enhance their products with multidimensional vehicle routing and scheduling facilities. Since version 2.2.3 JOpt now comes with a KML export function in order to depict the optimization result on Google Earth or Google Maps. JOpt.NET creates an optimum schedule in terms of truck's payload to empty ratio and minimizes overall road mileage. Given any arbitrary number of jobs, JOpt.NET determines the most cost effective truck allocation including driver's attributes or skills, capacities, working times and multiple time windows at tour stops.
"Since JOpt has been originally designed for software developers that want to add special expertise features like vehicle route optimization to their software product, one design paradigm of JOpt was that JOpt is open to any kind of GIS system and hence doesn't incorporate any own mapping otr GIS features. However, it can really ease things a lot when having a visual output of the optimization results when beginning to make the first experience with JOpt. At this stage the library may not already have been integrated into larger programm frame and therefore a KML interface is an easy and smart approach to get visual outputs without any further efford", says Vincent Mayer, Technical Product Manager at DNA.
