Abstract
Vehicle management systems and associated processes can incorporate calculations for categorizing locations on a map as within one or more territories based on proximity of the location to predetermined points with in the territories. The systems and processes can also incorporate techniques for estimating total distance required to traverse a route reaching all of a set of predetermined stops, without using a routing algorithm that would provide a usable route for a vehicle, but is less computationally demanding. The systems and processes can also include techniques for incorporating legs of a route that extend through a temporary exclusion zone.
