Abstract

Disclosed systems and methods relate to generating an optimized simulated tour. In some embodiments, a system can include a display device; a memory; and a processor coupled to the memory programmed with executable instructions including: a data collector to receive a transportation load data and a market data; a user interface to collect a user input, the user input including a user profile, a transportation tour parameter, and a current information of the user; a data filter to filter the transportation load data and the market data based on the user input; a network model engine to generate a network model based on the filtered transportation load data and the filtered market data; a simulation engine to: simulate the transportation tour based on the network model, and automatically select a simulated tour based on a simulated factor; and the user interface to display the selected simulated tour.

Claims (52)

1 . A system for a transportation tour, the system comprising:

a display device;

a memory; and

a processor coupled to the memory programmed with executable instructions, the instructions including:

a data collector for automatically collecting data for the transportation tour, wherein the data collector is configured to receive a transportation load data and a market data;

a user interface configured to collect a user input, the user input comprising a user profile, a transportation tour parameter, and a current information of the user;

a data filter configured to filter the transportation load data and the market data based on the user input;

a network model engine configured to generate a network model based on the filtered transportation load data and the filtered market data, wherein the network model comprises a network of transportation loads;

a simulation engine configured to:

simulate the transportation tour based on the network model, and

automatically select a predetermined number of simulated tours based on a simulated factor; and

the user interface further configured to display the selected predetermined number of the simulated tours.

2 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the user profile comprises at least one of an overhead cost, a commodity type criterion, a broker criterion, a customer criterion, a region criterion, a weather criterion, a terrain criterion, a certification criterion, and a credential criterion.

3 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the transportation tour parameter comprises a start date of the transportation tour, a start location of the transportation tour, and transport information.

4 . The system of claim 3 , wherein the transportation tour parameter further comprises an end date of the transportation tour, and an end location of the transportation tour.

5 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the current information of the user comprises at least one of a current location of the user or a current hour of service by the user operating a transport.

6 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the network model engine is configured to update the network model based on:

a new transportation tour data collected by the data collector;

a new market data collected by the data collector; or

a new user input collected by the user interface.

7 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the network model comprises a probability model for the simulated tour.

8 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the simulated factor comprises at least one of a revenue of the simulated tour, an earning of the simulated tour, or an earning over distance traveled in the simulated tour.

9 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the transportation tour comprises a series of one or more transportation loads.

10 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the user interface is further configured to:

display the selected predetermined number of simulated tours for an approval by the user;

receive an approval input from the user;

book a first transportation load in the approved simulated tour; and

display a booked status of the first transportation load in the selected tour.

11 . A method for a transportation tour, the method comprising:

automatically collecting a transportation load data and a market data;

collecting, via a user interface, a user input, the user input comprising a user profile, a transportation tour parameter, and a current information of the user;

filtering the transportation load data and the market data based on the user input;

generating a network model based on the filtered transportation load data and the filtered market data, wherein the network model comprises a network of transportation loads;

simulating the transportation tour based on the network model;

automatically selecting a predetermined number of simulated tours based on a simulated factor; and

displaying, via the user interface, the selected predetermined number of the simulated tours.

12 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the user profile comprises at least one of an overhead cost, a commodity type criterion, a broker criterion, a customer criterion, a region criterion, a weather criterion, a terrain criterion, a certification criterion, and a credential criterion.

13 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the transportation tour parameter comprises a start date of the transportation tour, a start location of the transportation tour, and transport information.

14 . The method of claim 13 , wherein the transportation tour parameter further comprises an end date of the transportation tour, and an end location of the transportation tour.

15 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the current information of the user comprises at least one of a current location of the user and a current hour of service by the user operating a transport.

16 . The method of claim 11 , further comprises updating the network model based on:

a new transportation tour data collected by the data collector;

a new market data collected by the data collector; or

a new user input collected by the user interface.

17 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the network model comprises a probability model for the simulated tour.

18 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the simulated factor comprises at least one of a revenue of the simulated tour, an earning of the simulated tour, and an earning over distance traveled in the simulated tour.

19 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the transportation tour comprises a series of one or more transportation loads.

20 . The method of claim 11 , further comprises:

displaying, via the user interface, the selected predetermined number of the simulated tours for an approval by the user;

receiving, via the user interface, an approval input from the user;

booking, via the user interface, a first transportation load in an approved simulated tour; and

displaying, via the user interface, a booked status of the first transportation load in the approved simulated tour.
