DYNAMICALLY GENERATING AND MANAGING FLIGHT ROUTINGS USING A LOGISTICS MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (LMS)

摘要

A logistics management system (LMS) may generate routes dynamically without the overhead of any pre-defined specifications of airport to connect between origin and destination airports. Further, the LMS's route construction function may take into account all the available flights segments, the shipment characteristics such as bulk/pallet/container, shipment product codes, and/or minimum connection times. A method may include receiving a request to create an allotment reservation having an origin and a destination. The method may also include receiving and assigning at least one route generation attribute; receiving available routes that have the same origin and destination as the reservation request; and sorting routes based upon at least one sort order.
