New german toll 2019

[fstrahberger]

Hello,

in Germany there will be new toll rates beginning from 01.01.2019. I would like to calculate some routes with this new rates. Does xroute provide the new toll rates already?

If not, when will the new toll rates for 2019 be available?

Thanks in advance.
Florian

Hello Florian,

if the latest version of our toll data is installed within your server you can calculate the toll based on the forecast data. This also contains the upcoming toll on FEDERAL ROADS. Please be aware that data that is labelled as FORECAST is subject to change!
Check this post which describes the content of the TollScenarios.ini:

Hello Bernd,

many thanks for your Information. I have already tried to calculate routes with toll date 01.07.2018. Then the federal roads are included in the toll calculation.

But my boss wants to know how much the toll will be, beginning from 2019 as the toll rates will be raised: http://www.spiegel.de/auto/aktuell/lkw- ... 07819.html

Is there any chance we may calculate a route with the raised toll rates from 2019.

Thanks in advance.
Florian

Hello Florian,

this is a strategic question and I have to forward it to our product management.

Hello Bernd,

many thanks for this Information.

Hello Florian,

here's some short statement from product management (translated by myself):

The new tarrifs which are relevant from 1.1.2019 aren't scheduled or finalised so far. Probably the work on this topic will start in november which will ensure that the updated tarrifs will be ready for use before they apply. Another prognosis isn't scheduled. Due to high workload in the data team we can't provide the update earlier,

Best regards,
Bernd

Good morning Bernd,

regarding to the ptv-homepage, the forecast-data of the german toll (20190101) is available yet.
I tried to to calculate the toll-costs for some routes by using the following parameters, but it does not work.
(It worked for the toll-change regarding "2018-07-01")

xroute
calculateAdvancedTour
[...]
<CountryInfoOptions_6 tollDate = "2019-07-05" detailedTollCosts="false" allEuro="false" calculatePartTollCosts="false" />


Is my code wrong or do I use an old map?
PTV Europe City Premium Map 2018.2



Maybe you see my mistake and can give me a hint.


Thank you very much in advance

Hello Max,

I think your request is ok but the server you use needs to apply the latest toll updates.
This means you need to

• PTV-xServer INTERNET : cloud services are already providing the latest updates
• PTV xServer OnPremise: install Content Update Service

The Content Update Service will connect to the PTV servers periodically and download updates of the Toll Data (e.g. check for updates once per week).

Internal Testclient: computes toll for three Tolldates.
The track is the same for all three toll dates, but:
from 1st to 2nd scenario: toll distance increases as FederalRoads produce contribution now (started 1.7.2018).
From 2nd to 3rd scenario: same toll distance but tarifs increased.

Best regards from Germany,
Bernd Welter
