Techniques and solutions are provided for determining changes to networks formed from network objects. Changes to network objects, such as addition or deletion operations are received and associated with timestamps. Last data changes for respective network objects are determined, including a last data change for a particular type associated with a respective networked object, where a networked object may be concurrently associated with a plurality of types. A first network object is removed from a first network, and contributions of the first network object to edges in the first network are removed. A second network object is associated with an addition operation and at least one edge is determined that connects the second network object and a third network object. Sets of disconnected network objects are determined. Network objects are associated with an identifier identifying a network that includes a respective network object.

Efficient network updates

A transportation management system may include a connection cache configured to store connection-relevant transportation information for transportation objects. The connection-relevant transportation information may have been replicated from at least one of a plurality of transportation object sources including at least a first database storing schedules, a second database storing freight bookings, and a third database storing freight orders. The transportation management system may also include a connection cache access engine configured to receive transportation parameters including at least a first location and a second location, and query the connection cache to dynamically select one or more transportation objects from the connection cache related to at least one of the schedules, the freight bookings, and the freight orders, that are relevant for the first location and the second location.
