Abstract
Techniques for generating geographical units that can be used to generate delivery routes are described herein. Geospatial vector data and barrier geospatial vector data for a geographical area may be obtained. Seed points for one or more portions of the geographical area may be determined based at least in part on historical delivery volume for the geographical area. A plurality of polygons that represent the geographical area may be determined based at least in part on an algorithm that uses the seed points, the geospatial vector data, and the barrier geospatial vector data. Coordinates for a geographical unit of a plurality of geographical units that divide the geographical area may be determined based at least in part on the plurality of polygons and a polygon-to-polygon barrier aware drive time matrix that identifies a calculated cost for traveling from one polygon to another polygon using barriers identified in the barrier geospatial vector data.
