Intro
The tour as a graph: cities, venues, drive-times, ferry windows, day-off rules, crew bus turns and freight swaps. Routing decides which Wembley Stadium hold the tour can keep — and which it cannot.
Trucks, A-rig and B-rig swaps, carnets, customs, instrument logistics and on-the-road repair. Freight is the engine that decides whether the next show happens.
Flights, ground transport, visas, immigration documentation, security drivers and protected movements for the artist and the touring party. Travel is where small mistakes become missed shows.
Manifesto
- ·Bad routing is invisible until the day it costs you a show. The Routing engine treats the tour as a graph and refuses moves that the road cannot keep.
- ·Every announce, every venue swap, every weather contingency runs against the same graph — drive-times, ferry windows, crew rest rules, freight swaps, all live.
- ·The desk sees what the road would have to do to keep a hold — and chooses the route that protects the artist, the crew and the show.
- ·If the trucks don't arrive, the show doesn't happen. Freight is treated as a first-class concern, not a back-office function.
- ·A-rig / B-rig swaps modelled in advance for stadium legs; carnets and customs paperwork prepared upstream so the road never waits at a border.
- ·Backline tracked instrument by instrument — nothing critical is ever a single point of failure.
- ·A missed visa is a cancelled show. Travel is a compliance engine as much as a logistics one.
- ·P2 visas, ESTA, CoS, Schengen rules and post-Brexit complications all tracked per crew member with renewal alerts.
- ·Movements designed for safety and recovery — not just shortest-path travel.

AI angle
AI on routing
Constraint solver that respects crew rest, ferry windows and curfew days — proposes re-routes when reality moves and ranks them by cost, carbon and risk.
AI on freight
ETA forecasting against live traffic, ferry and weather data — flags any truck likely to miss its access window in time to re-sequence the build.
AI on travel
Document-expiry scanning against the tour calendar — flags any visa or permit that would block a show months before that show is performed.
Outcomes
- No drive that breaks crew rest rules.
- Every announce backed by a route the road can keep.
- Re-routes returned in minutes when a venue moves.
- Carbon impact of the route visible at decision time.
- Trucks arrive when they should, where they should.
- Carnets and customs cleared upstream — no border surprises.
- Backup instruments ready before the originals fail.
- Freight costs reconcile straight into settlement.
- No visa expiry ever causes a missed show.
- Artist movements designed for performance, not just transit.
- Crew travel fits the tour graph, not the other way around.
- Travel costs reconcile straight into settlement.
