Automating complex scenarios mandates supporting a rich set of policies and rules that direct allocation, routing and scheduling decisions. These rules should also reflect management's policies and directives.

​

Urbana provides unique tools to apply custom rules easily and flexibly, to fit various scenarios.

​

In practice, even seemingly simple scenarios involve many decisions that dispatchers apply intuitively, which the automation platform must support. E.g. to ensure fairness between drivers or contractors.

​

Examples of complex transportation scenarios:

• Using an organic fleet combined with contractors via price-lists

• Using a fleet with trucks of different capabilities, origins or costs

• Working with drivers of different skills or preferences

• Synchronized production and transportation (JIT)

• Operating a coordinated hierarchical distribution network

• Integrating deliveries, pick-ups and returns from the field

• Transport of cargo/material types subject to compatibility rules

• Executing time-limited or expedited tasks

• Managing task prioritization and task re-cycling

• Using articulated trucks

• Managing trailers/chassis apart from tractors

• Synchronized Cross-Docking

• Drayage
