Abstract
A vehicle dispatch system enables optimal dispatch of a plurality of vehicles with information of available vehicles from transportation company terminals and information of orders from client terminals under restrictive conditions such as vehicle sizes, minimum loading rates, and a maximum number of assignment locations, based on transportation regions preset in consideration of transportation times, past order quantities, and order congestion degrees, such that a relevant vehicle can perform delivery of freight within a predetermined transportation region to minimize a total transportation cost for each transportation region. The system minimizes a delivery distance of each vehicle, increases a loading volume of the vehicle to reduce an empty rate of vehicles, and minimizes the number of dispatched vehicles, thereby reducing the total transportation cost.
