C: full postal code is found in the extra data. Comparing the output against the input we see a lot of fields not the same so it will classify the result as LOW. Remember, the extended data does not have city, street and housenumber information. D full postal code is found and output matched the in...

When we integrated our system with the xLocate service, we wanted to try and get an 'EXACT' result (classificationDescription) by passing in the postCode & houseNumber (UK postcodes only), and if we receive anything else then we simply pass in the postCode alone (in a second request) and take th...

Hi Bernd,

Was there ever a reply to this point? I've just received a similar enquiry, if the congestion zone information can be returned / considered in the xTour calculations.

I understand the intervals are “A time window specified by start time and end time. The attributes must be specified in [sec] from a consistent reference point in time on (for example 0:00 next day or 0:00 1 January 1970).”…but where exactly is ‘the consistent reference point in time’ specified? Do ...

We're basically going to allow them to select the profile against the 'Vehicle Types' in our system, should we not bother with any of the profiles and just leave it as 'Default' for everything then? I'm sure there must be some significant differences between 'car' and 'truck' and 'van' for example, ...

Hi Bernd

Thanks for your reply. Which would you suggest we initially load and allow users to use?

I'm trying to establish a list of standard vehicle profiles to configure in our application for users to choose from. In my xServer installation folder I have 39 profiles, some I've no idea what they are (car_01-00,delivery,dense-signal,local-matching,mg*,sparse-signal,trafficinfoloader...are some) ...

Thanks for the reply Bernd, I understand everything you’ve said, but I'm still struggling to see the overall picture. I've tried to summarise: 1. What is the structure of the distance matrix? Is it simply the diagram attached? 2. What’s the difference between DistanceMatrixByReference and ByRoad? “T...

While integrating the xTour server into our application I've come across the DimaID which I've understood to be related to the size of the vehicle / speed limits, please correct me if I'm wrong. I get the impression from the specification that either this, or the direct velocity / distance must be u...

Thanks Bernd, that does make sense, up until the balancing part anyway. It's enough to get us started and get the xServer integrated anyway, maybe we can worry about the balancing later.
