Behind this dataset

Same schema. As many rows as you need.

These 60 rows came out of a blueprint — 25 columns with generation rules behind each one. Open it in Data Factory to retune a column, add your own, wire in foreign keys, and run it at the size you actually need.

Rules it was built with
  • Each row represents a completed delivery route.
  • CO2 emissions are calculated based on distance, vehicle type, and delivery weight.
  • Only registered fleet vehicles with GPS tracking are included.
  • Emission values standardized in kg CO2 per package delivered.
  • Data includes urban, suburban, and rural routes.
