How does the logixcentral vehicle scheduling optimiser work?
The logixcentral vehicle scheduling optimiser is a very sophisticated program and we can not give a complete account of all the interactions that can occur during any given run. However, we will attempt to outline the principles behind its operation and to define some key terms. In order to provide some structure to this section we will first explain what is going on at each stage of the program’s execution before going on to consider why such a process is needed and how it is actually performed. logixcentral actually consists of two programs: an initialisation program which ‘sets up data files’ and the algorithm itself. When you go into Auto LogiX you are in the initialisation program, and it is only when you ‘press the Go button’ that you load the algorithm. Having restructured the data, the software checks for a vehicle scheduling matrix. logixcentral uses its own vehicle scheduling matrix file ALMAPQ.DAT. It will only have to create this file if it is the first time the particular
