Do you account for current traffic? How would you do that? That's the single most important element in routing, I think, and, although Waze was in the right track for solving it, it doesn't use well all its data.
No we do not account for traffic. We're not in the business of getting from A to B. We're about optimizing entire fleets (think 1000 orders, 100 vehicles).
Traffic delays are but a small factor, when we can cut 20 obsolete vehicles. We do take average road speed into account though.
