Route data example

Route Number Distance (Km) Traffic Fuel Cost (MYR)

1 300 Low 258.3
2 270 Medium 232.5
3 260 High 223.9
4 250 Medium 215.3
5 230 High 198.1
6 255 Medium 219.6
7 273 Low 235.1
8 310 Low 266.9

Fuel cost is calculated with formula 39.5 Litre per 100 km (0.395 L/Km) as average fuel usage for
truck that has 351-400 HP engine.

Route 2 : 2+3+2 = 7 Route 2 : 2+3 = 5

Route 3 : 3+1+3 = 7 Route 3 : 3+1 = 4

Route 4 : 4+3+3 = 11 Route 4 : 4+3 = 7

Route 5 : 5+1+5 = 11 Route 5 : 5+1 = 6

Route 6 : 4+3+4 = 11 Route 6 : 4+3 = 7

Route 7 : 2+5+2 = 9 Route 7 : 2+5 = 7

Route 8 : 1+5+1 = 7 Route 8 : 1+5 = 6

This scoring method is used to rate route’s based on distance, traffic and fuel cost, the highest score
will be selected to the next calculation. If there is only one highest score route option, that route will
be displayed as a recomended route.

Based on score count 1, the result will be route 4, 5 and 6. For each supply type, they have different
priority of parameter. For normal supply type, the system will look to lowest time travel that can be
calculated based on distance and vehicle average speed data.

Route Distance Traffic

4 250 Medium
5 230 High
6 255 Medium

The system will choose route 4 as it has the balance between distance and traffic.

Based on score count 2, the result will be route 4, 6, and 7. The reason why this doesn’t take into
account the fuel cost is because it will give result just same as distance, because more distance will
required more fuel.

Route Distance Traffic

4 250 Medium
6 255 Medium
7 273 Low

The system also will chose route 4 because of it has balance between distance andd traffic.

The difference between count 1 and 2 is that count 1 doesn’t take too far distance to the list and
little a bit ignoring about traffic condition. Count 2 is the opposite of count 1, it put route 7 on the
list and ignoring route 2 that has 270 km distance and medium traffic.

Both method of calculation still need more testing with different route data to proof it’s reliability.
