Hello,

When comparing the latest truckfast profile with the latest truck_40t profile, we have found that the main differences are in the physical attributes (also, truckfast contains an additional maximumSpeed parameter that is not presented in the truck_40t profile). However, there is no ...

Dear PTV,

We have come across a need in our project, to find a database of routes with Restricted Access, and the Restricted Access Permits necessary to use them and the costs of these permits.

I would like to inquire, if you have this data available?

Looking forward to hearing from you,

Best ...

Dear Bernd,

I have the same issue as Max: when routing between Calais and Dover (50.968637698, 1.873768495; 51.131455905, 1.3286909207), the GB-FR direction is all good (it uses the ferry), however the opposite direction (FR-GB) uses the Euro tunnel, and I cannot force to use the ferry in this case ...

Dear Andreas,

Thank you for your answer. Is it possible for customers to access the data your suppliers can provide? Or is it for internal use only?
If it can be available to us, in what format is it available in? And how could we access the data?

Thank you in advance,
Daniel

Dear Bernd,

Currently we recognize when a long-haul truck stops (and stays there for an extended period of time) in the vicinity of the POI, but however our systems do not explicitly match the given stop to the predetermined task (in this case let's say a parking). Thus, if we had the table you ...

Dear Bernd,

Our understanding of TollObjects currently consist of parking lots, ferries, gas stations, etc. So thus, what we call TollObject is a subset of the POIs you have sent us in your answer.
What we intend to do with them is assign a certain area to each of these POIs, just as you can see in ...

Dear All,

We wish to surround current and future TollObjects in our system with a border, in order to better identify the area subject to the given TollObject.
Our chosen method would be to map polygons around TollObjects, thus giving them a certain area of coverage.
Therefore, I would like to ...

Hi All,

Thanks for your reply!

The problems we have encountered are likely because of the following difference in the operation of Route and MatrixInfo queries:

When the endpoints have proper heading information, and route request is made than PTV can plan the routes, and as it can be seen from ...

Hi All,

We face the following issue when sending Matrixinfo requests through PTV SOAP API:
- when the AllowedCountry setting is active, PTV cannot link points in case both points are in the same country. However, without the AllowedCountry setting, the connection is possible.
- when we send ...

Dear Joost,

Thanks for your response, we hope that it will be available in the near future.

Hello guys,

we are interested in the topic of how to use feature layers, especially PTV_PreferredRoutes. We made a small research, but unfortunately, we couldn't get any answers when reading the related information on your website.

Our main question was how is it possible to add manually routes ...

Dear Bernd,

Currently, we face the following issue: when transferring data using database dump between different environments, the BinaryPathDescription created by xRoute in one environment did not work in the other environment. During routing, we got the following error:

Dear Bernd,

When we plan a route, sometimes we face the following issue: the route goes through roads that are restricted for deliveries even if the final destination of the tour is far from this zone apparently. We think that this phenomenon may occur because the routes in question have other ...

Dear Jochen and Bernd,

Thank you for your quick response! So it seems that currently it is not possible to set the same location for one postcode and the corresponding location name.

Do you think that you could change how the output is shown on the map for the identical search results? We ...

Hi Guys,

When entering a postcode and a corresponding location name in the Address field of xLocate and using the findAddressByText function, we are facing a problem as detailed below.

By entering a postcode (e.g., HU, 2016; 47.717614331, 19.083980869), we get a different result (coordinates ...

Dear Christa,

Thank you for your reply!

Our goal is to provide drivers with a list of remaining tasks.

In one of the forum's topics, we have found an uploaded pdf document called Guided Navigation - Transferring routes including traces to the Navigation. In this document, it is written in 3.1 ...

Hello guys,

An issue occurred related to the bcr file content. Is it possible to add type to Stations from a given list? Is there any existing feature to extend the type list with other items? We checked that now we are using "Standort" as the type of the Station.
Our goal is to use types such as ...

Hello Guys!

We are facing an issue related to segment identifiers. If we send a routing request to PTV xRoute service, in some cases we receive -1 in firstPolyIdx values in RouteListSegments while the Polygon is not empty.
What can cause that behaviour? Could you please explain us the meaning of ...

Hello guys,

Currently, we are facing the following problems:

1) We would like to get back suggestion for Jämjö, Sweden, while using XLocate AdressSuggest function. If we type 'Jamj' or 'Jamjö' with the correct country code, there is no corresponding suggestion. We get back the correct suggestion ...
