Abstract
The aim of this project is to investigate how graph and network algorithms together with vehicle GPS data can be used efficiently, and in the longer run support the Scania’s customers with route optimization and logistics planning. Clustering methods and graph methods will be studied to identify appropriate methods that fulfi ll the requirements of the application at Scania. These methods can be used to identify bottlenecks or other points of interest in transportation networks, to find more optimal routes, and/or anomaly detection. The motivation is to apply the results to transport planning tasks in the future. Some examples are in improved driver coaching by having more relevant comparison between vehicles or route planning taking into account traffic flows, popular stops, fuel consumption, etc. which could be of use for Scania’s customers.
