Supporting the transport of shipments

摘要

An apparatus receives an indication of an incident potentially affecting a particular route in a section between two supply chain nodes. The particular route is usable for a transport of a shipment, and the particular route comprises a supply chain lane or a sequence of supply chain lanes connecting the two supply chain nodes. The apparatus determines at least one possible alternative route based on stored data about supply chain lanes that have been used successfully for a transport of at least one shipment between a respective pair of a plurality of pairs of supply chain nodes in the past. The apparatus provides data about the determined at least one possible alternative route.
