Claim 0:
1. A computer-implemented method, the method comprising:
receiving, by one or more processors, a delivery route request;
identifying, by the one or more processors, delivery parameters within the request for a delivery, wherein the delivery parameters include (i) a delivery route from a shipping location to a delivery location, and (ii) one or more delivery constraints;
utilizing, by the one or more processor, the delivery parameters within the request to generate a delivery route simulation of the impact on a delivery service by;
analyzing current traffic flow, historical traffic flow, and environmental disruptions to define a threshold value of criticality of impact to the delivery service;
utilizing the delivery parameters to predict a degree of impact on the delivery service;
displaying, by the one or more processors, a generated revised delivery route using the one or more processors, based on the delivery route simulation, on a digital map via a graphical user interface (GUI), wherein the GUI is configured to be interacted with by one or more users;
receiving, by the one or more processors, from a user via the GUI, a definition of an environmental disruption, wherein the definition includes a type of the environmental disruption selected by the user using the GUI;
receiving, by one or more processors, digital data from the GUI, a geographic region for the delivery route that includes the delivery location and the shipping location defined by an input device interacting with the GUI, and the input device captures handwriting, brush strokes, and user movements electronically and converts the analog hand motions into the digital data received by the one or more processors from the GUI, and the digital data defines one or more boundaries by drawing a shape using the input device on a pictographic image representing the geographic region;
adding, by the one or more processors, the environmental disruption to the digital map;
generating, by the one or more processors, another revised delivery route, wherein the another revised delivery route modifies the revised delivery route to avoid the environmental disruption while satisfying the one or more delivery constraints; and
displaying, by the one or more processors, the another revised delivery route on the digital map via the GUI.
