The Challenge
Inefficient delivery routes leading to longer drive times and higher fuel costs.
The AI Solution
AI-powered route optimization (UPS's ORION system) that analyzes package destinations, traffic, and terrain to find the most efficient delivery routes.
Type of AI Used: Optimization Algorithms (Operations Research + Machine Learning)
Results & Impact
UPS's AI routing saves about 100 million miles driven and millions of gallons of fuel each year. Generated $300-$400 million in cost savings annually.
