[KITlist-Tech] Routing Software Tool Development Project (Anywhere)

 

Please direct your responses to: mtattersall@stratsoftllc.com


The Company

Stratsoft (www.stratsoftllc.com) undertakes geo-spatial analysis and advisory services for telecom companies. It plans fiber network extensions and has now reached the point where it requires a route planning software (e.g. Dijkstra) tool that can automate this activity.

Contact: Michael Tattersall mtattersall@stratsoftllc.com

The Role

We seek a sub-contract software developer that can develop this route-planning capability for use in telecommunications network planning. Initial development should lead on to further improvements and software tool support.

Requirement

Overall the goal is for the tool to use Dijkstra algorithms (A* or similar) to develop a route design that minimizes distance cost to connect every Site back to specified points on the Fiber. Within this, the tool should be able to re-run designs according to changing route costs.

There are three main components of this tool;

1. Fiber Route. The coordinates of this Fiber would be provided by Stratsoft. In any given study area it would be 100 - 200 miles long

2. Connected Sites. These Sites are distributed throughout the study area and need to be connected to the Fiber along roads. The tool would follow route rules to make sure this connection goes down the appropriate roads.

3. Route selection. Different types of road would have different cost/mile attributed to them by Stratsoft. The tool would calculate minimum cost to connect Sites to the Fiber.

The goal is a web tool that the User can upload telecom origination and destination data and then the tool delivers a map-based design and data that minimizes route costs. The data for each link and network ring is downloadable in a format that can be incorporated into a spreadsheet for economic analysis. The route values can be readily changed to allow the User to undertake a systematic cost/benefit analysis.

Initially this tool will be used by skilled Stratsoft Users. In time it could be made available to Stratsoft partners and customers.
