Abstract: Need for automated route planning for goods in bulk haulage in changing conditions is substantiated. Conditions to meet in route planning are described. Additional criteria taking into account the specific conditions of haulage are described, i.e. type of cargo, conditions of loading and unloading, location of consumers and suppliers. Algorithm takes into account the limits on the demand, vehicle carrying capacity and pallet capacity, vehicle ramp access, trailer availability, vehicle availability, accessways to unloading points. Possible ways of optimizing the code are indicated. Need to use a database to store information about the car fleet, consumers, routes is proved. The database table with the information about mapped routes is given as an example.
