Re: Break Location

Create a fake Demand with max. priority and with an equipment that only that technician has. This is what i recommend to my customers and it works pretty good. There is one slight downside to this approach: it will mean that the vehicle in question will always be planned in. So for a day where you ...

Re: New toll tarrifs for Germany (dec2023 / july2024)

Admin Edit by Bernd (6.10.2023): Joost's statement below is not correct. Therefore we decided to map all prices in DF5 to the "CO2-class 1” in xServer1. Details are explained in this succeeding post . ======= Joost: What does that mean exactly for on premise xRoute 1.x? Does PTV provide a new ...

Re: xRoute vs xDima

Main difference is the size of the dima. xRoute does not support large dima's. The limit is iirc 750 x 750 for xRoute. In xServer 2 xRoute no longer has a matrix call. We decided that maintain dima functions on 2 locations is not usefull. Instead we did support easy dima access for smaller dima's wi...

Re: orderIdsNotPlanned in xTour response - pickup and delivery is not mixed

Mixing them is possible out of the box. So there is another reason why the order remained unplanned. This can be figured out with the findChangeTourProposal. Note: since i do not know you parameters for building the dima I'm using Direct Distance in the rest of my explanation. First of all: store th...

Re: useDetailedToll is still experimental

A couple of versions ago detailed toll became the standard for xServer 2. So atm the parameter is not used to enabled detailed toll, but rather disable it by explicitly setting it to false. Because of this we are keeping this parameter experimental.

Re: Tour Optimization: using Drones

Therefore I'd recommend to use a routed distance matrix ( ExistingDistanceMatrix ) which is based on the built in fallback to geometric distance. For this you could apply a routing profile which "fails by design", e.g. by setting a ridiculous geographic restriction (meaningless bounding r...

Re: Request for truck with hazardous goods xRoute v1.24

Hello, there are 2 things you need to adjust: 1) the hazardous good blockings are not part of the core map data but reside in the extra data layer TruckAttributes. You need to enable this layer in the feature layer section of the profile. 2) when dealing with hazardous good you also need to setup th...

Re: How heading improves matching

A common mistake witch people make with heading: In xMapmatch 1 heading is a mandatory parameter. If this is not set explicitly either the customer software during serialization or the xMapmatch during deserialization will add a default value witch is usually 0. So if you do not have headings availa...

Re: xS1 vs PTV Navigator

@Joost: I'm not sure I fully understand what you wrote. But I'm guessing it's connected to the one I just wrote to Bernd. It's connected to Themes vs DataRules? When we started with our software we just took the cor map data from our provider and made our maps from it. As time passed our map provid...

Re: xS1 vs PTV Navigator

A quick warning though: The truck attributes feature layer are loaded in your vehicle profile. So atm you are using "RoadEditor" technology in xMap and "FeatureLayer" technology in xRoute. Although both data layers are using the same source data and should represent the same use ...
