- Generating a matrix of distances and journey times
between many different locations
- Generating straight-line journey matrices (very fast and
useful where MapPoint has no road data)
- Working out the best allocation of nodes (e.g.
destinations) to hubs (e.g. distribution centres) based on
minimising real journey times
- Working out where to add more hubs into a network to
minimise overall cost
- Working out delivery routes from hubs to nodes
- Working out the Centre of Gravity between different
nodes
- Working out the relative attractiveness of (specified)
different potential locations for a hub
- Working out the optimum delivery frequency to different
nodes, based on managing transport costs
- Working out the mid journey point between two locations
- Creating maps of multi-layed maps of multiple locations
- Creating maps of multiple locations' journey range
- Varying analyses by geographies, miles v. Km, and
transport constraints.
