Architecture of an Innovative Route Planning System for Sustainable Commercial Vehicle Fleets

Nowadays the main challenges for transportation industry are to reduce labor costs, planning time and carbon footprint. Most of the conventional vehicles release considerable volumes of pollutants which accentuate global warming. In this paper we will write about the system architecture of iRoute, an innovative route planning solution specialized for commercial vehicle fleets, considering also electrical vehicles with specific constraints about their drive autonomy and charging stations along the optimized route. We will also describe use cases of such a solution and then detail the main components: Vehicle Data Module, Integration Module, Database, Processing services, User Profile, Optimization Engine, Route monitor services, Driver feedback, Web Application and Mobile Application. This paper is based on the work on Eureka project PN-III-P3-3.5-EUK-2019-0210.
