AI-Powered Route Optimization Platform for Modern Logistics
LIVE LINK : https://complexrouteoptimizer.netlify.app/
RouteOptimizer is a comprehensive, full-stack web application designed to solve complex logistics and delivery route optimization problems. Using advanced algorithms like Wright Clark Saving updated version , Exact Algorithm , Heuristic-Meta Heuristics Algorithm Using Google OR Tools and interactive mapping, it helps businesses optimize their delivery routes, reduce fuel costs by 20-30%, improve delivery times by 25-40%, and enhance overall operational efficiency.
Traditional route planning for delivery businesses is:
- Time-consuming - Manual planning takes hours per day
- Inefficient - Suboptimal routes increase costs by 20-30%
- Static - Routes don't adapt to changing conditions
- Complex - Managing multiple vehicles and constraints simultaneously
RouteOptimizer delivers:
- AI-powered route optimization using advanced algorithms
- Real-time route calculation with multiple constraints
- Interactive mapping with Leaflet.js and OpenStreetMap
- Comprehensive fleet management system
- Performance analytics and reporting
- Real-time map visualization with custom markers
- Location clustering and demand analysis
- Route visualization with polylines
- Click-to-add new locations
- Vehicle registration with capacity details
- Vehicle type classification and constraints
- Real-time vehicle tracking
- Capacity planning and optimization
- Multi-constraint optimization algorithms
- Vehicle capacity and demand handling
- Time window and road network constraints
- Multiple vehicle coordination
- Real-time performance metrics
- Route efficiency analysis
- Cost savings calculations
- Historical data tracking
- JWT-based authentication
- Role-based access control
- Data encryption and validation
- Secure API endpoints

- Google OR-Tools - Advanced optimization algorithms (optional)
- Vehicle Capacities
Max load per vehicle; routes exceeding capacity are invalid. - Variable Demand per Location
Each stop has its own demand (packages/weight) that must fit vehicle capacity. - Single Source – Multiple Destinations
All routes start/end at one or more depots. - Heterogeneous Fleets
Mixed vehicle types (vans, trucks, bikes) with varying capacity, speed, cost.
- Clarke–Wright Savings (fast initial heuristic)
- Enhanced Clarke-Wright (improved savings with capacity constraints)
- Nearest Neighbor (simple constructive heuristic)
- Genetic Algorithm (evolutionary improvement)
- Tabu Search (local search with memory)
- Simulated Annealing (probabilistic optimization)
- Ant Colony Optimization (stochastic path construction)
- Google OR-Tools (advanced commercial-grade solver - optional)
