Vehicle Routing Software Component for .NET and J2SE released

December 15, 2006; 06:06 AM
DNA, a leading provider of vehicle routing and resource optimization components, today announced the release of JOpt.SDK TourPlanner 1.1.0, an automated routing and dispatching component that provides APIs for both Java/J2SE and .NET Frameworks.

While route and resource planning facilities have been already incorporated by other products before, JOpt offers a different and more flexible approach. JOpt.SDK has been designed to fit seamlessly into any .NET or Java application. ISVs may integrate the JOpt.NET component into their application or projects in order to offer their customers a consistent solution including optimization of mobile workforce schedules and allow the look and feel of one piece of software.

JOpt.SDK can solve Traveling Salesman Problems (TSP) and Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problems with Time Windows (CVRP,VRPTW) and thus is the right choice for developers and software vendors looking for an easy-to-use but also comprehensive component to solve various standard and non-standard logistic and field force planning problems. JOpt.SDK offers resource, route and transport optimisation with respect to various constraints such as time windows, load capacities, skills, compliance, working times, load balance and prescribed itinerary.

In addition to JOpt.SDK DNA currently prepares the release of a new version of an "out-of-the-box" desktop solution called JOpt.Personal. JOpt.Personal will comprise a graphical user interface and a built in map and has been designed for end users.
