Route Optimization with Real-World Constraints

How to improve on-time delivery without relying on idealized assumptions.


Route optimization is only useful if it accounts for real-world constraints.

High-impact constraints to model:

- customer-specific delivery windows,
- product handling requirements,
- driver shift limits,
- unloading time distributions,
- live traffic variability.

Treat routing as a continuously updated decision system instead of a one-time daily batch.
