Vehicle Routing 500 Almay Rd 484 Almay Rd 300 Almay Rd  GIS-based routing requires accurate geocoding.  Transportation network layers should include:  Address ranges  Speed limits  Stop lights  One way streets

Routing Example – Basic Routing  Distributor Location  New Account Location Shortest Route Available

Street Network Attributes How address ranges are stored in a GIS layer From Node To Node Left Right Grove St. Left From = 16 Left To = 2 Right To = 1 Right From = 29 Most streets are navigable in both directions.

Routing Example – Preference Settings Quickest route follows the highway rather than secondary roads.

Routing Example – Multiple Stops Pre-determined stop orderOptimized stop order

Other Routing Applications Distributor Delivery Location Construction Barrier

Vehicle Tracking

Other Location Tracking Examples ( , ) 149 Webster Rd Rochester, NY Webster Farmer’s Market Reverse Geocoding Service Finder Distance to Market Precision Agriculture Supply Chain Logistics Integration Here is my current GPS Location. What address am I at? Where is the nearest grocery store? Apples Potatoes Fertilizer application rate automatically adjusted as GPS location of tractor changes.
