Abstract

The Internet of things (IOT), real-time positioning, body sensor monitoring, and human decision support systems have become hot topics over the last two years. Commodity delivery truck drivers face these heavy tasks directly and have also become a key to success of the new IOT trend. A commodity delivery truck driver does not have sufficient time to make decisions when on the road. He (or she) has to know the location of nearby gas stations, fast food restaurants, toilets, temporary rest places, waste bottle recycling, customer shops, and mainly product distribution missions. This study focuses on a smart phone applying remote server as intelligent system. This intelligent system can deal with product distribution sub problem, waste bottle recycling routes sub problem, on-line real time Annealing heuristics (SAH) calculation, finding support shops for a driver and body sensor monitor; all integrating on a smart phone display. In previous research, there is only a limited amount of literature available on routes planning hybrid driver’s body real time monitoring and giving suggestion. This study establishes a pioneer research about optimization product distribution and human behavior interacting intelligent system, sensors also embedded into this system. Through validations, the study offered fundamental data for optimization of this problem and useful calculations for a commodity delivery driver. Future research suggests comparing more heuristics results to these SAH results, or build more constraints to help a driver to face his (or her) daily multiple routes planning choices.
