Current supermarket home delivery mechanisms typically offer users an inflexible set of slots (usually 2 hours for food) which fail to make maximum use of the customer's actual time at home and rule out delivery times for customers for whom the rigid slot boundaries do not align with out-of-home activities.The project will deliver and integrated slot booking and routing solution for Attended Home Delivery that will allow end-users to specify arbitrary delivery availability rather than rigid 1, 2 or 4 hour time slots. In doing so it will enable route planning to take advantage of the wider time windows available for delivery to home workers, the retired and others who are able to receive deliveries across more than the stand time slot.Wider time windows translate to more efficient route plans, saving fuel, driver's hours, CO2 emissions and traffic congestion.The efficiency savings could be used to benefit customers through lower delivery charges particularly rewarding those who can provide the widest availability.

目前的超市送货上门机制通常为用户提供一组不灵活的时段（通常为 2 小时的食物），无法最大限度地利用客户在家的实际时间，并且排除了严格的时段边界与户外活动不相符的客户的送货时间。该项目将为有人值守的送货上门提供集成的时段预订和路由解决方案，该解决方案将允许最终用户指定任意的送货可用性，而不是严格的 1、2 或 4 小时时间 插槽。这样做将使路线规划能够利用更宽的时间窗口，为家庭工人、退休人员和其他能够在超过站台时间段内接收货物的人提供送货服务。更宽的时间窗口意味着更高效的路线计划，节省燃料、司机时间、二氧化碳排放和交通拥堵。效率节省可以通过降低送货费用来使客户受益，特别是奖励那些能够提供最广泛可用性的人。
