2020: Announcement of Chains of Loads service

On December 10, 2020 the Exchange of Cargo Transportation ATI.SU company reported that it developed the automated service for selection of routes for carriers.

"Chains of loads"

According to the company, the Chains of Loads service helps to plan a route in the most optimal way and at the expense of it to optimize its profitability. Thanks to the updated service carriers can plan the difficult transportations including several loads consistently or at the same time through several cities.

"Chains of loads" – the service created within a digital ecosystem of "The exchange of cargo transportation ATI.SU". Its main objective, as well as a problem of all ecosystem – to optimize the market of automobile cargo transportation. Service is calculated on carriers of loads and the solution of their main problem – non-optimal routes with a low rate of rub/km.

IT specialists of "The exchange of cargo transportation ATI.SU" without attraction of external resources were engaged in its creation. Within four months several commands worked on it at the same time. The command which is responsible for search of loads developed an algorithm of formation of chains of loads at the heart of which – the wave fitting algorithm. Designers of interfaces made service intuitive and convenient for users even if those did not work with similar products before. Frontend-developer implemented the interface, "recovered" service and implemented it on the website. Some more commands provided interaction of chains with other services of the Exchange, for example, calculation of distances, search of loads, mobile clients.

Earlier carriers created the routes manually, independently selecting loads. On it working hours left, and the final route could turn out not the most profitable as it is physically impossible to touch all possible options manually. And the Chains of Loads service for several seconds offers carrier different options of the difficult routes sorted in decreasing order of advantage. Service works with Exchanges of Cargo Transportation ATI.SU base to which about 130 thousand loads in the most different directions of Russia and the CIS countries are daily added.

"Chains of loads" create cargo transportation options automatically – to the user to specify exact search options enough, and he will quickly receive several optimal routes. The algorithm selects orders so that the rate for transportation at the rate of rub/km was suitable. If standard search of loads assumes that the load needs to be transported from a point And in a point In, then the service can add the additional cities to a route and also consider a possibility of a dogruz, i.e. between the main points And yes In there can be some more points, at the same time freights can be hauled in a body once. If the cost of standard transportation of a load And in a point In is of a point, for example, 40 rub/km, then, having added even one city, it can be raised to 50 rub/km, and from dogruza to earn even more.

It is not the only possibility of service before standard search of loads. With its help it is possible to plan krugoreys, in advance having picked up loads in both directions. Or, even without adding additional points to a route, to quickly collect up to five loads in a body to transport them between two cities. Also the service offers routes with an empty run, clearly demonstrating what sometimes to pass several kilometers between the cities "empty" and it is more profitable to take an additional load, than just to transfer one load from a point And to a point of Century.

The market of automobile cargo transportation changes, it becomes more complex to carriers to work and get in it profit. In these conditions routes with taking of dogruz become more and more demanded. Svyatoslav Vilde, the managing director "Told the exchanges of cargo transportation ATI.SU
