Truck — multi-zone capacity & distance coverage

Coverage & Zone Assignment — containers are matched to zones by geographic proximity to the inland terminal.

Coverage & zone overlap
Two overlapping truck coverage zones with a container in the overlap Zone A coverage around Inland Terminal A overlaps Zone B coverage around Inland Terminal B. A container sits in the intersection and is assigned to its closest zone first, then cascades to the overlapping zone, and finally zones can merge into one shared solve.

Two overlapping coverage zones — a container sitting in the intersection can be served from either inland terminal.Coverage is matched by geographic proximity to the inland terminal.
Truck zones

A container in a zone overlap, in three options.

Coverage & Zone Assignment — containers are matched to zones by geographic proximity to the inland terminal. Zones only share capacity where their coverage overlaps; effective reach = zoneCoverageKm × coverage-slack (1.2×), so a bigger radius means more overlap.

Option 1 · Primary zone capacity

Closest zone first

The container is assigned to its closest zone (A), solved first against that zone's own truck/driver pool; once planned it is de-duplicated out of all other zones.

Option 2 · Secondary zone capacity (cascade)

One cascade pass

If it stays unplanned in its primary zone, it falls back to the overlapping zone (B); ONE cascade pass (never tries the same zone twice); distance-mode zones only; uses B's spare truck capacity.

Zone BPass 2Spare capacity
Option 3 · Shared pools & joint solve

Zones merge

A truck/driver pool can be shared across zones; zones sharing orders or capacity merge into ONE joint solve; governed by enable-zone-merging; cross-zone vehicle state carries forward.

Effective reach = zoneCoverageKm × coverage-slack (1.2×) · null radius → legacy exact-terminal match. Stat chips and pool levels are illustrative placeholders.

Effective reach = zoneCoverageKm × coverage-slack (1.2×) · null radius → legacy exact-terminal match. The cascade runs a single pass and never tries the same zone twice; shared pools and joint solves are governed by enable-zone-merging. Stat-chip values and pool levels are illustrative placeholders.
