This forum deals with any kind of routing computation whether it is simple A:B-routing, calculation of isochrones, simple matrix computation or nearest search.

Ferry from Trelleborg to Travemunde (Lubeck)

Post by krzysiek mbis »

Hi,
Is there a way to have a route from Trelleborg to Travemunde via Ferry.
I've tried many times with different settings but I can't do it.

I use the xServer .NET control and the XRoute web service to calculate the route.

Hi there,

I successfully requested the ferry:
https://xroute-eu-n-test.cloud.ptvgroup ... /ws/XRoute
neutral ferry malus.<br />Time: 5h:48m <br />Distance 299km
neutral ferry malus.
Time: 5h:48m
Distance 299km
Preferred ferry by 30% (malus=-30)<br />Time: 9h:30m<br />Distance: 10km
Preferred ferry by 30% (malus=-30)
Time: 9h:30m
Distance: 10km
Depending on the balance between distance and time (OPTIMIZATION) the ferry is less attractive even with neutral ferry malus (AVOID_FERRIES) as it produces a long period.

If the OPTIMIZATION is focused on "DISTANCE" (values around 0) the neutral ferry malus also returns a FERRY route.

search via xLocate.findCombinedTransports
search via xLocate.findCombinedTransports
Check this...
you can also seatch for potential ferries via xLocate ;-) findCombinedTransportByLocation
The ID is then a potential property of a waypoint:
WaypointDesc object accepts the ID
WaypointDesc object accepts the ID

Hi,
I understand that It's all about the balance between distance and time.
But could you tell me why It's not working when I have via point in the ferry line (in the middle of the Baltic sea) ?
I'm asking because our client wants to have influance on the specyfic ferry line (for example if he has route from Oslo to Berlin). There are many possibilities for ferry lines.
What is the best way to do this ?

Hello,

what is your understanding of that "VIA point in the baltic sea"? A x,y coordinate somewhere in the water close to a grey painted ferry polygon? That's probably not working.

Let's switch the perspective:
What is the requirement of the customer? He want's to enforce the routing to consider a specific ferry relation?
Check this:

Hi,
Yes, I asked about something like a x,y coordinate, but only as an example as a way to have an influence on the ferry line. But that is clear after this :
viewtopic.php?f=7&t=494&p=1303&hilit=Ferry#p1303 (I forgot about this - sorry)
Asterix wrote:What is the requirement of the customer? He want's to enforce the routing to consider a specific ferry relation?
- exactly what he wants.
But the problem with OPTIMIZATION parameter is that it will have influence on whole route. Witch can be changed dramatically!
Will this ferry ID as a potential property of a waypoint works with OPTIMIZATION parameter even if it's focused on "time" not on "distance" ?

I tried to use findCombinedTransportByLocation, it works but I got different results than you. Can you tell me what parameters you used in this method? I tried:

Code: Select all

    var location = xLocate.findCombinedTransportByLocation(new findCombinedTransportByLocationRequest
                {
                    ArrayOfResultField_3 = new ResultField[] { },
                    ArrayOfSearchOptionBase_2 = new SearchOption[] { new SearchOption { param = SearchParameter.COUNTRY_CODETYPE, value = "0" },
                     new SearchOption{param=SearchParameter.RESULT_LANGUAGE,value="DEF" },new SearchOption{param=ERouteSearchType.} },
                    CallerContext_4 = new CallerContext
                    {
                        wrappedProperties = new[] { new CallerContextProperty { key = "CoordFormat", value = RouteLayerExtensions.SpatialReferenceId } }
                    },
                    Location_1 = loc,
                    
                });

I tried this:

Code: Select all

<Location_1>
	<coordinate xmlns="http://xlocate.xserver.ptvag.com">
		<kml xsi:nil="true" xmlns="http://common.xserver.ptvag.com" />
		<point x="1207690" y="7151079" xmlns="http://common.xserver.ptvag.com" />
	</coordinate>
</Location_1>
<ArrayOfSearchOptionBase_2>
	<SearchOptionBase xsi:type="ReverseSearchOption" value="0" param="COUNTRY_CODETYPE" xmlns="http://xlocate.xserver.ptvag.com" />
	<SearchOptionBase xsi:type="ReverseSearchOption" value="10" param="ENGINE_TARGETSIZE" xmlns="http://xlocate.xserver.ptvag.com" />
	<SearchOptionBase xsi:type="ReverseSearchOption" value="DEF" param="RESULT_LANGUAGE" xmlns="http://xlocate.xserver.ptvag.com" />
	<SearchOptionBase xsi:type="ReverseSearchOption" value="10" param="ENGINE_MINSIZE" xmlns="http://xlocate.xserver.ptvag.com" />
</ArrayOfSearchOptionBase_2>
Maybe you are using a different map version?
I used maps.path=C:/PTV-XSERVER/MAPS/PTV_Europe_City_Map_Premium_2018_1H
