xRoute1: how to consider greenzones (low emission zones)?

[Bernd Welter]

Here's a quick sample about how to consider the greenzones during a routing with xRoute1.

For both routings the GREENZONES apply a malus of 2501 (strictly forbidden).
Waypoints: "71735 Hochdorf an der Enz" --> "7133* Waiblingen"
Left: Vehicle has a green vignette - passage is allowed
Right: vehicle has a RED vignette, therefore it must perform a detour

I see two major approaches:

• Use the explizit routing options
  • AVOID_LOW_EMISSION_ZONES (e.g. 0 / 25001 / 2501) and
  • LOW_EMISSION_ZONE_TYPE (e.g. GREEN / RED)
• Apply the same parameters via XML Snippet:
  • Profile.Routing.Course.BasicDataRules.SpecialAreas.forbiddenLowEmissionZoneMalus
  • Profile.Routing.Vehicle.Physical.Drive.Emissions.lowEmissionZoneType

Important to know: The snippet approach is also valid for the DIMA driven modules (xDima, xTour, xCluster) where the API does not offer explizit options.
