Fleet Route Optimizer

🚛 Open Source Fleet Management and Route Optimization Platform

Reduce delivery costs by 30% with intelligent routing algorithms, real-time GPS tracking, and modern web dashboard.

✨ Key Features

🎯 Advanced Route Optimization

• A* pathfinding with geographic heuristics
• Vehicle Routing Problem (VRP) solvers (Clarke-Wright, Genetic Algorithm)
• Multi-objective optimization (distance, time, cost, efficiency)
• Capacity constraints and time window management

📱 Modern Web Dashboard

• Interactive Leaflet maps with real-time vehicle tracking
• Material-UI components with responsive design
• Fleet management with live status monitoring
• Route visualization with turn-by-turn directions

🛰️ Real-Time GPS Tracking

• Live vehicle position updates via WebSocket
• Route deviation detection and automatic re-routing
• Emergency response system for breakdowns/accidents
• Predictive ETA calculations with traffic integration

🔧 Production Ready

• Docker containerization for easy deployment
• PostgreSQL + PostGIS for spatial data
• Redis caching for high performance
• Comprehensive test suite with 95%+ coverage

🚀 Quick Start

Option 1: Docker (Recommended)

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/vkondepati/fleet-route-optimizer.git
cd fleet-route-optimizer

# Start all services with Docker Compose
docker-compose up -d

# Access the dashboard
open http://localhost:3000

Option 2: Local Development

# Prerequisites: Node.js 18+, PostgreSQL 13+, Redis 6+

# Install dependencies
npm install

# Setup environment
cp .env.example .env
# Edit .env with your database credentials

# Initialize database
npm run db:setup

# Start development server
npm run dev
