GEOROUTE: AN INTERACTIVE GRAPHICS SYSTEM FOR ROUTING AND SCHEDULING OVER STREET NETWORKS. IN: CONFERENCE RECORD OF PAPERS PRESENTED AT THE FIRST VEHICLE NAVIGATION AND INFORMATION SYSTEMS CONFERENCE, TORONTO, ONTARIO, CANADA - SEPTEMBER 11-13, 1989

GeoRoute is a multi-purpose graphical tool for applications requiring a network representation of streets in urban and rural areas. It differs from other geographical information systems in its unique underlying data structure. This structure is adapted to routing and scheduling problems for various types of delivery and public works vehicles. In such cases, information is required about street-to-street connectivity, one-way streets, street types and illegal turns at intersections. GeoRoute includes the functions required to keep the geographical databases up-to-date, locate items on the street network, automatically and/or interactively generate optimized vehicle routes and produce colour maps using standard plotting devices.
