Re-planning routes from what drivers actually report

Driver messages about accidents, closures and delays become routing constraints the planner can act on — not calls a dispatcher has to decode

The challenge

Driver messages about accidents, closures and delays become routing constraints the planner can act on — not calls a dispatcher has to decode

Segment: Delivery and freight fleets

Rule-based parsing handles the phrasings someone thought of in advance and misses the rest; in the published evaluation, a rule-based extractor failed on 82% of the varied phrasing found in real logs. The result is a dispatcher reading messages, guessing which routes are affected and adjusting by hand, while time windows at downstream stops quietly slip.

The approach

How the deployment was structured

Diagram: a driver's message becomes a validated routing constraint, then a local re-sequence, a full re-optimization or a dispatcher review

From message to edge update

The driver's message is translated into a constraint on the network model — this road segment, this extra delay — rather than a free-text note someone has to interpret later.

Checked against the network

Before it counts, the constraint is validated: the segment exists in the routing network, the delay starts now rather than in the past, and the duration is within realistic bounds.

Re-sequence, re-plan, or ask

If only the affected stops need re-sequencing, that's a local repair. If the delay breaks time windows across several routes, the routing model re-optimizes. If the message is too vague to act on, the dispatcher confirms one reading.

What changed

Vehicle routing is one of the six problem types GenOR-Twin was validated on. On the Solomon R101 benchmark it produced a 3.7% better objective than a rule-based extraction pipeline, and the language-model step took about 2 milliseconds regardless of problem size — so the speed of a re-plan is set by the routing solver, not by reading the message.
