- 9. Implementing the translation between transportation costs and special business rules into vertices and edges of a graph: Using graph theory algorithms ( Dijkstra's algorithm , A* search algorithm , Bellman-Ford algorithm ) to find the shortest path between source and target nodes, with the sum of the weight of its constituent edges minimized Implementing the algorithm into a special decision engine , which encompasses our many years of experience in the freight forwarding business (Unique and subject to patents) How TMSS Does It: Vertical represents location and edged represents segment of route and weighted by cost and criteria (CO2, Time, etc.) Source Target
