Transportation Planning & Tracking

CDM creates transportation planning applications that support users in the complex decision-making process of placing cargo aboard conveyances and planning the movement of goods. Through intelligent agent technology, CDM-developed software systems process vast amounts of data, provide domain knowledge, suggest resolutions to conflicts as they arise, and create movement plans. These plans can provide details about which conveyances will be used, where they can refuel, when they will arrive, and how the cargo sequencing is best accomplished for each conveyance.

Our software applications can:

• Quickly adapt to changing data and distribution requirements.

Our software allows users to quickly incorporate alterations to data, such as new cargo lists, missing conveyances, modified requirements, and weather impediments. If new information renders a plan unfeasible, the user can either manually re-plan or instruct the application to re-plan automatically.

• Enable groups in different locations to simultaneously update information.

Our software applications allow multiple groups to update information, such as the status of cargo items, weather conditions, and conveyance availability. This capability ensures that the most accurate information is used during the planning process.

• Function semi-autonomously.

While creating a load-plan or fulfilling a request for goods, our software can function without constant user interaction.

• Provide alerts for violations and warnings, and propose solutions.

Our intelligent agents generate alerts when rules or requirements are violated and suggest possible solutions, thereby reducing the time necessary to resolve a conflict.

• Generate standard and custom reports.

Our software can create standard or customized reports about a plan’s schedule of activities. Users can distribute these reports to others for validation and approval before executing the plan.
