Route planning

Page navigation: Waste Vision Suite > Planning > Route planning

The Route Planning page in the Waste Vision Suite provides full insight into the scheduled pickups for a specific day and time of day, and enables smart route planning and management. The page consists of two tabs: Planning and Routes.

Tab: Planning

In the Planning tab, you see whether there are enough services and orders available to plan routes for the selected date and time of day (e.g., morning or afternoon).

What do you see here?

Services
Shows whether vehicles (with drivers) are available. Without an available service, route planning is not possible.
Orders
Available pickup orders that can be scheduled. No orders = no planning possible.
Optional orders
Non-mandatory orders that can be added to a route to better utilize the route.

At the top of the screen you see:

Number of available orders
Total weight of all orders
Total vehicle capacity
Plan button: Automatic route planning based on available data
Option to ignore service duration when planning

Note: If there are no services or orders available, this tab remains empty.

Tab: Routes

In the Routes tab, the scheduled routes are displayed – both automatically generated and manually created – for the selected day and time of day.

Important columns:

Column	Description
Name	Name of the route with date/time
Number of stops	Number of unique locations in the route
Number of pickups	Total number of containers being emptied
Avg. fill level	Average loading of the vehicle (in %)
Total distance	Total length of the route in kilometers
Total weight	Weight of all collected fractions combined
Total capacity	Maximum loading capacity of the vehicle
Total driving time	Estimated time for driving the route
Total handling time	Time required for emptying containers
Start and end terminal	Start and end point of the route

Functionalities
