Road Toll in Denmark from 1.1.2025

[Bernd Welter]

Hi there,

in the last weeks we are getting asked the following question by multiple users:

Starting from January 1, 2025, Denmark will begin charging €0.11 per kilometer, and it appears that your service is not currently calculating tolls for that country. I would appreciate it if you could look into this matter

Our answer:

• Please ensure to apply a proper time consideration context, e.g. StartTime > 1.1.2025 (as with any other routing if you are looking for proper toll)
• The current toll scenario is labelled as a forecast - we are waiting for the Danish government to ratify the prices.

  

  As you can se from the screenshot (computed on PTV Developer on 28.11.2025) the new toll in Denmark is currently a forecast

Hi Bernd,

the xServer 1 on Premise is on "PTV Europe / World City Map Premium 2024.2H" at the Moment.
The newest toll update PDF file doesn't contain a forecast scenario for denmark valid from 01.01.2025.

I sadly haven't managed to gain (forecast) toll values for routings in denmark with xserver1 and i provided a "Start_time" with the value 2025-02-25T13:00:00 and even (the same) as toll date.

Your Blog-Page
https://xserver-blog.ptvlogistics.com/2 ... t-denmark/
states out that its from version 2.30 onwards so i am not completely sure about the support of XServer1.

The documents i have seen so far regarding this topic yet seem to have no real connection to the new "CO2 Emission Classes".

==> Will this new denmark toll be also available with xServer1?

[Bernd Welter]

Hi Stefan,

I forwarded the question

Does xServer1 support basic toll scenarios for the upcoming Danish 2025 toll?

to some backend expert... Hopefully he can respond soon.

PS: one more reason to migrate to xServer2 / Developer

Meanwhile I receeived this info from our tpoll data expert:

We are aware of this topic and in the evaluation stage.The challenge is whether the existing basic toll data approach of xServer 1 (less flexible than Detailed Toll in xS2/DEV) would be able to return "acceptable approximations". Hopefully we have some decision by Christmas.

• You made no error (besides assuming that we have a basic toll scenario for DK)
• Feel free to return in the forum if you didn't get the result by then.

Just received some update about "basic toll for Denmark 2025":

1. Hi Bernd, for Denmark basic toll, not fixed date for now, but somewhere in February I expect it to be ready. Still not sure if accuracy of toll calculation will be as good as for detailed toll.
2. One more thing from me: xS1 doesn't have co2emissionclass parameter, so that won't be covered in that update (as it is not covered in DEU and AUT, etc.)

In fact the second statement means that due to the fact that xServer1 profile does not "know" the co2EmissionClassEU (invented in xServer2.31) the basic toll approach is not as accurate/flexible as the detailed toll which is available through xServer2 and PTV Developer.

Best regards,
Bernd

Here's some interesting news:

As most of you already know, the delay of the new Denmark toll for xServer 1 and Map&Guide internet is currently a hot topic for a lot of our customers.

Today we got the official information from Development that the (basic) toll will be available in both products (with Here maps!!) [..] in calendar week 7 (10.02-14.02).

For xServer 1 and RO-ST customers with TomTom maps, the (basic) toll will be available one week later: Monday February 17th. Information for customers: calendar week 8 (24.02-28.02)

The following approach is just a workaround, but please take a few seconds to understand the idea behind it:
The core idea is to replace the insufficient xServer1 basic toll with KPIs gathered through PTV Developer

• Create the route as usual through the xRoute 1 API

  

• Use the polyline to create a Developer.MapMatching which returns a route ID

  

• Use the Developer.Routing API with the RouteID and create the detailed toll based on the reconstructed route

  

Known flaws:

• Route lists with more than 2 waypoints?
