Resequence the Route
PC Miler Worldwide can resequence the stops in a route,
thereby optimizing trip time, cost, and distance. Let’s
resequence Route 1:
-
Close Route 2 (activate it using the
Windows menu, then select Close Route from the File
menu, or simply click the “X” in the upper right corner
of the window to close it).
-
Activate the Route 1 window
and then duplicate it (select Duplicate Route from the
File menu).
-
Select Resequence Stops...
from the Route menu.
-
The Run route after resequencing
option should be checked by default, but if it is not,
click on it to select it. Route Through All
should also be checked.
-
Click OK. The stops in the
Route 2 window will be reordered and the route will be
recalculated.
-
Click on the map window to bring it
to the front. Notice how much the optimized route
differs from the original route.
-
Select Comparison from the
Report menu.
As you can see, PC Miler Worldwide determined that the
optimal route would have Paris as its destination and would
stop at Bordeaux before Limoges. The resequenced route is
significantly different from the version of Route 1 that we
initially entered. In fact, by allowing PC Miler Worldwide
to resequence this route, you saved approximately 467
kilometers and close to 6 hours of driving time, plus the
additional trip costs!
