AI for transport route optimisation

AI Academy 10 a.m.

Introduction

The AI Course on Transport Route Optimisation provides specialised training in application of artificial intelligence to improve logistics efficiency. Through these teaching units, pupils will learn from the Fundamentals of route planning and transport up to the implementation of smart models, including evolutionary algorithms, swarm techniques and probabilistic optimisation, to design solutions that optimise costs, timeframes and resources in real-world scenarios.

Objectives

  • Understanding the logistics principles and factors affecting route efficiency.

  • To analyse how the Artificial intelligence solves complex route-planning problems.

  • Understand and apply heuristics, meta-heuristics, evolutionary algorithms and swarm techniques in logistics.

  • Prepare and treat geospatial data (GIS) y transport data for optimisation models.

  • Integrate Map APIs, positioning systems and logistics management software.

  • To design solutions that enable the real-time monitoring and dynamic route adaptation.

  • Measuring the effectiveness of optimisation through metrics and performance analysis.
