Truck-Parking-Areas

Post by Max Beermann »

Hey there,

I hope you are ALL doing fine!
I would like to realize that our trucks are getting planned even more precisely.
For a proactive rest-planning, it is relevant that the dispatcher sees truck-parking-areas within the map.

Two questions about this:
1. Is there a map-layer available, that shows truck-parking-areas?
2. Does the xServer have the information, where truck-parking-areas are located?

Many thanks in advance :)

Best regards

Hello Max,

just wanted to let you know that I forwarded your topic to product management. I am aware of different theoretical approaches. Each one requires some more strategic info from inside PTV.

Stay tuned,

Well, potential approaches I have in my mind:
  • single shot data provisioning: we try to gather a CSV file with ID, Label, (x,y)
  • usage of an API that returns this data when it is needed
  • usage of an API that enables you not only to look for parkings but also for criteria such as opening times, accepted credit cards, restaurants, showers, ...
We evaluate these approaches and return when we have new info.
