Transit Time Policies

Users can set policies to calculate the transit time for a shipment. The Transit Time By Distance method uses Google and Graphhopper to compute the distance between the sites. The Transit Time By Machine Learning method calculates transit time based on machine learning configurations using trained models created from the user's historical transit time data.

Complete the following steps to set transit time policies:

  1. L og in to the ONE system.

  2. Click Menus/Favs > Transportation > Policies > Transit Time Policies.
    In the NEO UI, users can click on the Menus/Favs icon on the left sidebar and type in the name of the screen in the menu search bar. For more information, see "Using the Menu Search Bar."
    The Transit Time Policies screen opens.
