New feature 2.19: OffRoadRouteLocation.considerDrivingSide

[Bernd Welter]

Hi there,

just a quick info that we invented the following new property of an OffRoadRouteLocation: you can now enforce that the route starts/ends on the proper side of a road.

Update (15.1.2021):
Feature has been renamed into com.ptvgroup.xserver.routing.SideOfStreetRestriction

• SAME_SIDE_AS_LOCATION
• ANY_SIDE

Sample is available in the Integration Samples

Screenshot taken from the integration samples. Route starts at GREEN and ends at RED. Depending on the property of the destination the route is direct (false) or performs a detour to approach the destination on the proper streetside.

One usecase I'll check soon is the collection of garbage... works!

sequence optimization based on a DIMA that considers the driving side

Wow - just played around with some inner city waypoints list...

The 8 routes seem to differ quite a lot:

I combined

• com.ptvgroup.xserver.routing.SideOfStreetRestriction
  • ANY_SIDE : No restrictions on the side of the street, both sides can be used.
  • SAME_SIDE_AS_LOCATION : The street side on which the location is situated should be used.

• com.ptvgroup.xserver.routingprofile.TurnStrategy
  • NONE : No additional cost is applied.
  • PREFER_PASSENGER_SIDE_TURNS : Additional costs are applied on driver side turns.

• TruckAttributes
  • disabled
  • enabled
