Route optimization isn't just shortest path. It's stop quality. iMatrix combines FC-501 GPS and motion telemetry with Sentry-1 door-dwell data and NEO-1 cargo conditions, so the next route plan reflects what actually happened — not what the dispatcher planned.
Compute the best stop sequence accounting for traffic, time windows, vehicle class, and historic per-stop dwell — not the textbook TSP answer.
FC-501 reports position and motion every 10 seconds. Customers receive automated ETA updates that adjust as traffic changes.
How long was the truck at each stop? Was the door open? What was the cargo at? The next route plan benefits from every prior delivery.
Most route software optimizes against the planned stop. iMatrix optimizes against the actual stop — including how long the door was open, how the cargo behaved, and where the truck was idling.
Multi-GNSS positioning every 10 seconds in motion. 6-axis gyro detects stops, hard-brakes, and impacts. Idle classification for accurate stop dwell. The route engine's primary input.
Open / close events on the cargo door at every stop. The dispatcher sees not just "10 minutes at stop 4" but "8 of those minutes the door was open" — actionable instead of opaque.
Temperature and humidity inside the cargo area. Long stops in hot weather are flagged before the cargo is at risk. The route engine learns to schedule perishable stops first.
iMatrix Cloud computes the day's route from stop list, time windows, vehicle class, and historic per-stop dwell. Drivers see the plan in the iMatrix mobile app.
FC-501 reports position, speed, and motion in real time. The dispatcher sees actual progress vs. plan; customers see live ETAs.
Sentry-1 and NEO-1 add context inside the stop. "Is the door still open?" "Is the cargo holding temp?" — the dispatcher knows without calling the driver.
Each completed route updates per-stop dwell estimates. Tomorrow's route reflects today's reality. Plan accuracy climbs over weeks.
30+ stops per route. Per-stop dwell history beats theoretical drive-time as a planning input.
Plumbing, HVAC, telecom techs. iMatrix learns each customer's typical job duration so the day's plan is realistic, not aspirational.
Hundreds of pickup points per route. Skipped pickups are flagged immediately because the door event never happened.
