Single Depot, Multi Driver, Avoidance Zones Routing (With Time Windows)

This route optimization mode supports fleets with multiple drivers departing from a single depot, incorporating both time windows and avoidance zones. You can designate areas like construction sites or restricted areas that drivers must bypass. Coupled with strict delivery-time constraints, this mode simplifies planning while ensuring safety and compliance.

Route4Me uses avoidance zones to build time window–based delivery routes that bypass restricted areas.

 

Route Optimization Simulation – Single Depot, Multi-Driver With Avoidance Zones

 

This simulation shows how Route4Me sequences routes while respecting both scheduled delivery windows and user-defined avoidance zones.

The system routes drivers efficiently in real time, minimizing travel time and ensuring they steer clear of restricted areas without compromising arrival deadlines.

 

Benefits Of Avoidance Zones With Time Window Routing

This mode provides clear operational advantages:

  • Ensures drivers avoid unsafe or restricted areas without impacting route timing
  • Maintains on-time deliveries even with added restrictions
  • Helps planners quickly generate compliant routes with minimal manual adjustments

 

Use Case – Multiple Driver, Avoidance Zone, Time Window Routing

This mode is especially useful for:

  • Transportation teams avoiding hazardous or restricted areas
  • Delivery fleets working around temporary traffic restrictions
  • Service operations needing to adhere to both schedules and exclusion zones

It provides safe and reliable routing that adapts to real-world constraints without causing missed time windows or inefficient detours.
