The Vaisala Route Manager allows details of the road network and available resources such as depot locations and vehicle capacity to be imported to produce optimised routes with instructions which can upload to vehicles, the company adds.

Route Manager also allows users to assign ranking and priority values to different parts of the road network and add new roads or account for details like parked cars, construction projects or low overpasses.
