Hi Listers!
Does anyone know if there exists a ready-to-run, city-oriented delivery
route-planning software package? A friend of mine needs something which
can help them plan patients' trips to medical offices AND provide some
sort of data synchronization between said routing software and our
database. Basically, the problem is one of assigning volunteer drivers
to pick up people for scheduled medical visits, then taking them home
when the visits are done. I believe the first half of each trip can be
scheduled in advance (days beforehand), but the return trip timing would
depend on the finish time for the patient (which is variable depending
on doctor workload and patient diagnosis).
It would be nice to find something written in Java which they could plug
into their existing program, but that's not absolutely required.
So the second choice is to use a program running on a separate system,
with data exchange capabilities. That separate system would most
probably be running Windows (assuming they'd use an existing computer),
but it wouldn't be hard for me to set up a Linux box for them, either,
so the solution need not be limited to either platform. As far as I
know, they don't currently have any general-purpose GIS software in
house, so we're looking for something stand-alone.
Any help on who makes something like that would be appreciated.
