Abstract

A route scheduling system for a vehicle or fleet of vehicles can recalculate a scheduled route based on input received after the formulation and/or dispatch of the initial route. The additional inputs can be used for recalculation and changes in route selection, which may include a variety of inputs, such as weather conditions, traffic conditions, customer needs, vehicle inventory, and emergency situations. The recalculation of the routes can allow for route selection to be performed in real-time in order for fleets and vehicles to optimize the allocation of resources.
