1. A system for transportation of a payload, the system comprising:
a routing command subsystem implemented by at least one processor and a memory, the routing command subsystem configured to control transportation of the payload comprising a resource, and configured to be communicably coupled to:
a first input device at a first location, the first input device configured to determine a first resource factor of the resource at the first location;
a location input device associated with a transporter, the transporter configured to transport the resource, the location input device configured to determine a transporter location,
the routing command subsystem further configured to:
predict an availability of the resource at a supply node;
detect a failure point in transportation of the resource;
simulate a consequence of the predicted availability of the resource at the supply node by calculating a consequence factor;
compare the consequence factor to a predefined threshold;
when the consequence factor is not within the predefined threshold, change a first endpoint of a transporter route to a first alternate location based at least in part on the first resource factor and the transporter location, in order to increase a transportation utilization rate;
receive first data associated with the first location and second data associated with the transporter;
apply a fuzzy logic to match the first data and the second data, wherein the fuzzy logic comprises matching the first data and the second data by comparing a difference between the first data and the second data to a predefined fuzzy logic threshold;
automatically reconcile the first data and the second data when the difference between the first data and the second data is within the predefined fuzzy logic threshold; and
automatically determine, for a user, the first data and the second data when the difference between the first data and the second data is not within the predefined fuzzy logic threshold; and
a user interface configured to:
receive, from the user, an input to manually reconcile the first data and the second data that are automatically detected when the difference between the first data and the second data is not within the predefined fuzzy logic threshold; and
display, on a display device,
the first data and the second data that are automatically reconciled based on the fuzzy logic or manually reconciled based on the input from the user, and
the first alternate location as the first end point of the transportation route when the consequence factor is not within the predefined threshold.
