System and means for supporting transportations and distributions
First Claim
1. A system for supporting transportations and distributions (T&
- D), which is applied on the management of supporting T&
D of delivering goods from a place to at least one other place, the system consists of plural systems;
a supporting T&
D system, which processes a plan operation for goods before distribution after accepting orders, procedures of the operation are as following;
(1) T&
D data establishment;
(2) Vehicle-arrangement operation;
after the above procedures, at least a supporting T&
D result is then generated;
a distribution and returning process system, which processes a monitoring and control operation for goods in distribution and goods after distribution when vehicles are on their returning ways under the supporting T&
D result is generated, procedures of the operation are as following;
(1) Control and monitoring operation;
(2) Result maintain and evaluation;
after the above procedures, at least an evaluation result is then come out;
a transportation result management system, which processes that to regularly and irregularly analyze the supporting T&
D result of goods before distribution and the evaluation result of monitoring and control of goods in distribution and goods after distribution when vehicles are on their returning ways, plural analyzed items are as following;
(1) Cost/expense/benefit/reward management;
(2) Drivers/vehicles management;
(3) Resources/energy management.

Abstract
The present invention is a system and means for supporting transportations and distributions, which is the logistic system and means applied on the management of supporting T&D of delivering goods from a place to at least one other place. For system, which has plural systems for distribution plans of goods before distributions, monitoring, control and recording operations of goods in distributions and result evaluation operations of goods after distributions; the plural systems include a supporting T&D system, a distribution and returning process system and a transportation result management system. For means, which has plural modules as following: a basic data module, a distribution cost module, an geographic information system application module, a vehicle-arrangement and path plan module, a vehicle and driver assignment module, a monitoring and recording module, and a result management module. The modules may cooperate with general business enterprises.

14. A means for supporting T&
- D, which is applied on the management of supporting T&
D of delivering goods from a place to at least one other place, the means consists of plural modules;
an geographic information system application module, which may calculate the shortest distances for goods loading places to customers'"'"' places, customers'"'"' places to customers'"'"' places, etc. according to data of customers and distributions;
an vehicle-arrangement and path plan module, which may arrange distributions'"'"' sequences depending on data in database via automatic, artificial or cut-in vehicle-arrangement process, thus an order path network simulation is then brought out;
the path network simulation is sent to the geographic information system application module for displaying distribution paths;
a vehicle and driver assignment module may recommend distribution paths and cooperate data of transportation companies, characteristics of each vehicle and driver, cost, etc. to process vehicle and driver assignment and goods distribution for each trip;
a monitoring and recording module, which may function the control and monitor of goods in distribution, which means to control each vehicle running conditions when goods in distribution, and to monitor and record vehicle paths and distribution time interval to the time of distribution finished, which means to monitor and record all situations until vehicles arriving at loading places. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
