In commercial transportation operations, one of the largest wasteful expenditures is the movement of tractor trailers with little or no cargo. Analysis of interfleet data shows many lost opportunities for identifying backhauling loads—cargo that could have been moved by an otherwise empty trailer on its return from a delivery point to its home base. Brokerage systems that facilitate matching of load-sharing and backhaul opportunities currently do not incorporate monitoring of real-time, geo-based information, analysis of historical geo-based information, and user-calibrated preferences from all brokerage participants. Future intelligent brokerage systems will need to provide a full range of services including supply chain visibility and automated identification of potential collaborations based on historical trends. In this paper an algorithm is described for identifying load-sharing and backhaul opportunities based on the detection of patterns in large-scale, event-based telematics network data.
