[QUOTE="JL 0513, post: 3193317, member: 50088"] While I get what you're saying, Orion is actually a program more about time than simply mileage. A traveling salesman algorithm would have been a very simple and cheap program to implement. What made Orion costs hundreds of millions to develop was the time factor as so much of a UPS drivers day is based on time. Varied commit times, P/U times, and many other factors based on existing time studies lead to the mileage solution. The main complexity of Orion is timing, not simply figuring the most efficient delivery order. [/QUOTE]
