servicePeriod ignored in time total when calculateRoute

[Nicolas Humblot]

Hello,

I would like to calculate a route with multiple way points in it, each point having a pause time when reached.

To express this pause time, I've seen in the documentation the "servicePeriod" field, in the "TourPointDesc" class. I know there is an identical field name when contacting the xTour.planBasicTours() method which works nicely when I tested it.

Unfortunately, I can't make it work when using xRoute.calculateRoute(). I defined the type of my way points to "TourPointDesc" and added the "servicePeriod" value for each point.

I came up with this JSON body when contacting xRoute.calculateRoute() :

Code: Select all

{  
   "waypoints":[  
      {  
         "linkType":"NEXT_SEGMENT",
				 "$type" : "TourPointDesc",
				 "servicePeriod": 3600,
         "coords":[  
            {  
               "point":{
                  "x":-0.6446577,
                  "y":44.840727
               }
            }
         ]
      },
      {  
         "linkType":"NEXT_SEGMENT",
				 "$type" : "TourPointDesc",
				 "servicePeriod": 3600,
				 "useServicePeriodForRecreation": false,
				 "completeServiceInIntervals": true,
         "coords":[  
            {  
               "point":{
                  "x":2.2828813,
                  "y":48.82943
               }
            }
         ]
      },
		 {  
         "linkType":"NEXT_SEGMENT",
			   "$type" : "TourPointDesc",
			   "servicePeriod" : 3600,
         "coords":[  
            {  
               "point":{
                  "x":-0.6446577,
                  "y":44.840727
               }
            }
         ]
      }
   ],
   "options": null,
   "exceptionPaths":null,
   "details":{},
   "callerContext":{  
      "properties":[  
         {
            "key":"CoordFormat",
            "value":"OG_GEODECIMAL"
         }
      ]
   }
}

The PTV Server response is :

Code: Select all

	"info": {

				}
			},
			"wayPointType": "DEST",
			"countryCode": ""
		}
	]
}

When looking at the result, the "info.time" field value never changes, even if I remove the "servicePeriod" fields or set them to 0.

When contacting the xTour.planBasicTours() method, I can clearly see these servicePeriods being added to the estimated time.

Could someone tell me what I am missing please ?
Thank you very much for your help.

Hello Nicolas,

looks like my subscription failed (haven't noticed your post). Sorry for that.

The xRoute offers some extended methods such as calculateTour and calculateAdvancedTour.
Those methods should consider the additional properties of a TourpointDesc.

The other methods calculateRouteInfo, calculateRoute and calculateExtendedRoute treat the TourpointDesc as regular WaypointDesc (thats the base class of TourpointDesc) and do not consider the timeslots and service periods.

I think this should answer the question. If not: get back!!
