A Study on Route Planning in Logistics, Using Load Distance Model

The study aimed to identify how route planning for logistic companies can efficiently implemented. Route Planning explains basic transportation strategies and frameworks, as well as crucial functional needs, while considering contemporary changes in distribution planning. Companies may save mileage, fuel use, and carbon emissions by using a route planning system that calculates the most effective routes. Businesses may better recognize unforeseen deviations and communicate proactively to improve service and customer satisfaction since route planning is linked to real vehicle tracking. Route planning systems define the sequences in which the selected transport vehicles must serve the demand points with the necessary amounts of commodities at the appropriate time. Transportation is a critical component of logistic management. A complete literature study in a specific context is supplied, together with a discussion of possibly applicable strategies to be used. The major goal of this research is to reduce the cost and plan effective route planning which lead to high productivity and high profitability and leads to customer satisfaction. In this research route planning is done with the help of Load Distance Method which enhances the smooth execution of product delivery with a minimum cost and time.
