[Learn more](/maps/comms/eea/faq).\n\nRoute Optimization is a Google Maps Platform API that generates optimized route\nplans for single or multiple vehicles and their stops.\n\nWhy use the Route Optimization API\n\nImprove the operational efficiency of your transportation fleet with the help of\nroute plans. Adjust your routes for cost, time constraints, customer needs, and\nany other business objective. For example:\n\n- A **logistics company** can save time and resources by scheduling next-day shipments while optimizing the deliveries for time efficiency, cost saving, on-time delivery, and driver and end customer satisfaction.\n- An **on-demand food delivery** company can make their dispatch process quicker and more effective by choosing the best active driver to pick up new orders and inserting them in their existing routes.\n- A **field service provider** can improve their efficiency and customer satisfaction by assigning providers to appointments and finding the optimal stop sequence for more than one appointment, all while re-optimizing routes when challenges come up.\n\nWhat you can do with the Route Optimization API\n\nUse Route Optimization API to optimize your fleet's routes and tasks\nassignments based on your own *objectives* and\n*constraints*.\n\n- **Objectives:** Your business goals.\n- **Constraints:** The limitations of your physical assets.\n\n| Objectives || Constraints ||\n|-----------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|------------------------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|\n| **Travel efficiency** | Optimize basic travel routes using parameters like distance and time-to-destination. | **Drivers work hours** | Assign routes to drivers based on their work hours and breaks. |\n| **On-time arrival** | Prioritize a pickup, delivery, or service to arrive before a specific time. | **Vehicle capacity** | Assign a vehicle to a task based on the amount of load it can carry. |\n| **Vehicle use cost** | Minimize the number of vehicles required to perform a task. | **Time windows** | Have a shipment or task arrive in a specific time slot. |\n| **Load balancing** | Fairly distribute tasks across a fleet of vehicles and personnel. | **Dependencies and compatibility** | Optimize your fleet routes based on your types of vehicle, task sequence, or shipment conditions. |\n\nHow the Route Optimization API works\n\nThe Route Optimization API can be accessed using [REST](/maps/documentation/route-optimization/reference/rest/v1/operations), [gRPC](/maps/documentation/route-optimization/reference/rpc), and\n[client libraries](/maps/documentation/route-optimization/client-libraries).\n\nRequest body\n\nThe request body accepts information about your shipments and the vehicles\navailable to deliver them. This includes details such as:\n\n- Pickup and delivery locations\n- Time windows\n- Shipment size and weight\n- Vehicle capacity\n\nResponse body\n\nThe response body provides a detailed route plan which includes:\n\n- Sequence of stops\n- Assigned shipments\n- Overall metrics\n\nRead more details about constructing a request in [Construct a Request\nMessage](/maps/documentation/route-optimization/construct-request)\nand interpreting a response in [Interpret the\nResponse](/maps/documentation/route-optimization/interpret-response).\n\nResources\n\nThe following table summarizes the resources available through the\nRoute Optimization API along with the data it returns.\n\n| **Data resources** | **Description and data returned** | **Return format** |\n|----------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|\n| `optimizeTours` | This method returns an optimized route, with details of the visits and metrics. | [JSON](/maps/documentation/route-optimization/reference/rest/v1/projects/optimizeTours) or [gRPC proto](/maps/documentation/route-optimization/reference/rpc/google.maps.routeoptimization.v1#google.maps.routeoptimization.v1.RouteOptimization.OptimizeTours) |\n| `batchOptimizeTours` | This method returns the resource name of a Long Running Operation, which indicates when processing is complete. | [JSON](/maps/documentation/route-optimization/reference/rest/v1/projects/batchOptimizeTours) or [gRPC proto](/maps/documentation/route-optimization/reference/rpc/google.maps.routeoptimization.v1#google.maps.routeoptimization.v1.RouteOptimization.BatchOptimizeTours) |\n\nHow to use the Route Optimization API\n\n|---|----------------------------------------------------------------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|\n| 1 | **Get set up** | Start with [Set up your Google Cloud project](/maps/documentation/route-optimization/cloud-setup) and complete the setup instructions that follow. |\n| 2 | **Run a basic request and receive a response** | After setup, start with sending a basic request and get the response, following [Construct a Request](/maps/documentation/route-optimization/construct-request) and [Interpret the Response](/maps/documentation/route-optimization/interpret-response). |\n| 3 | **Try a more advanced scenario and start creating your own request** | Explore example scenarios starting with [Pickup and Delivery Stop Order Optimization](/maps/documentation/route-optimization/pickup-delivery-order-optimization) and start building requests that match your use cases. |\n\nAvailable client libraries\n\nFor a list of the available client libraries for Route Optimization API, see\n[Client Libraries](/maps/documentation/route-optimization/client-libraries).\n\nWhat's next\n\n- **Start using the Route Optimization API** : Go to [Run a Basic Request](/maps/documentation/route-optimization/construct-request).\n- **Understand billing** : [Usage and Billing](/maps/documentation/route-optimization/usage-and-billing)\n- **See sample code and libraries** : [Client Libraries](/maps/documentation/route-optimization/client-libraries) and [Open Source](https://github.com/googleapis/google-cloud-java/tree/main/java-maps-routeoptimization).\n- **Follow best practices** : [Best Practices Using Route Optimization API Web\n Services](/maps/documentation/route-optimization/web-service-best-practices)"]]
