Ecosy Travel route optimisation algorithm: multimodal journey planning to minimise emissions

“经济旅行快速启动”项目将开发一种创新的路线优化算法，使有效的旅行路线规划能够最大限度地减少碳排放，并优化绿色旅客的旅行偏好。该项目还将把我们的路线优化算法内置到生态旅行计划器中，以帮助我们的客户规划他们的绿色度假，并直接向相关运输供应商预订旅程的每一段。与我们绿色度假物业供应链的接触表明，由于这些企业位于农村，如果没有汽车，进入这些企业的机会有限。我们的算法将更好地服务偏远的目的地，从而支持更多需要经济刺激的农村社区绿色旅游的发展。与预订机票一样，当客户计划绿色度假时，他们希望在出发当天看到其他旅行选择。目前的路线规划工具是针对设定的出发时间进行优化的，结果往往很差，无法确定最简单的旅行路线。我们希望解决这个问题，并根据用户的喜好，找到更多的夜间旅行，以尽量减少浪费的白天旅行。

The Ecosy Travel FastStart project will develop an innovative route optimisation algorithm that enables effective travel route planning to minimise carbon emissions and optimise for the travel preferences of green travellers. The project will also see our route optimisation algorithm built into the Ecosy Travel Trip Planner, to help our customers plan their green getaways and book each leg of the journey direct with the relevant transport provider.Engagement with our supply chain of green holiday properties has shown that there is limited access to many of these businesses without a car due to their rural location. Our algorithm will better service remote destinations, thereby supporting the growth of green tourism in more rural communities that need the economic boost.As with booking a flight, when customers are planning a green getaway they want to see alternative travel options across their departure day(s). Current route planning tools, which optimise for a set departure time, often provide poor results that fail to identify the simplest travel route. We want to fix this and, where it is the users preference, find more night journeys to minimise wasted daytime spent travelling.
