TRANSPORTATION MANAGEMENT SYSTEM, TRANSPORTATION MANAGEMENT METHOD, AND PROGRAM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17980615 titled 'TRANSPORTATION MANAGEMENT SYSTEM, TRANSPORTATION MANAGEMENT METHOD, AND PROGRAM

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a transportation management system that aims to improve the operational efficiency of an operation plan involving multiple transportation vehicles. The system generates an operation plan that includes the transportation routes of the vehicles and allows for the passing of packages between them.

  • The transportation management system improves the efficiency of transportation operations.
  • It manages the transportation of packages using multiple first transportation vehicles and a second transportation vehicle.
  • The system generates an operation plan that includes the transportation routes of each vehicle.
  • The operation plan allows for the passing of packages between the first transportation vehicles inside the second transportation vehicle.

Potential Applications

  • Logistics and supply chain management
  • Delivery services
  • Public transportation systems
  • Fleet management

Problems Solved

  • Inefficient transportation operations
  • Lack of coordination between multiple vehicles
  • Inability to pass packages between vehicles

Benefits

  • Improved operational efficiency
  • Better coordination and management of transportation routes
  • Ability to pass packages between vehicles for more streamlined delivery processes


Original Abstract Submitted

To provide a transportation management system, a transportation management method, and a program each adapted to improve operational efficiency of an operation plan including a transportation route of a first transportation vehicle and a transportation route of a second transportation vehicle capable of accommodating the first transportation vehicle. A transportation management system manages transportation of a package by a plurality of first transportation vehicles and a second transportation vehicle capable of accommodating the plurality of the first transportation vehicles. The transportation management system includes a generation unit configured to generate an operation plan including a transportation route of each of the plurality of the first transportation vehicles and a transportation route of the second transportation vehicle. The generation unit generates the operation plan for the case where passing of the package between the plurality of the first transportation vehicles inside the second transportation vehicle is permitted.
