Abstract

A routing processor implements a multi-stage prescriptive routing model engine based on harvest input data relating to the harvesting of crops at a plurality of locations by a plurality of combines and based on a harvest characteristic representing an attribute of the crops to be harvested by the combines. The multi-stage prescriptive routing model engine generates a combine routing program prescribing the movement of each combine between the locations and includes a demand stage configured to identify combine harvesting demand as a function of the harvest input data and the harvest characteristic and a scheduling stage configured to generate the combine routing program as a function of the harvesting demand.
