How to enforce daily toll rates in xServer 1

[davidprem]

Hi (Bernd),

hoping this is the right place to ask this question:
Would it be possible in XS1 to configure toll calculation to enforce daily toll rates only? I couldn't find any possibility in the documentation unfortunately.

I'd need that explicitly for the Brenner pass, where our cutomers do a lot of routing and depending on where and when the routing starts, where they do their break time, it often does not match the planned route timewise and xServer calculates the nightly price, which is about twice at night.

Looking for an easy solution, as I don't want to invest to much in XS1 anymore!

Thank you in advance =)

Hi David,

from my understanding the consideration of daytime dependent toll data is part of the DETAILED toll mechanism which isn't supported by xServer1 (only BASIC toll).

The following screenshot shows the impact of the start stime of a route based on xRoute2 (same would apply in Developer).

Sample application based on xServer2 - demonstrates the impact of daytime dependency (169 routings shifted hourly)

Anyhow: I forwarded the question to DEV for a more profound statement.

Interesting, I am getting time dependant toll data on XS1 as well.

Good remark, David!

Though you get different prices I am not sure whether this is covering your described story. At least after a quick chat with DEV I've been told that the route determines the "time on a segment when it is reached" which is more the "exactAtStart" scenario.
In my sample above I used "exactAtStart".

If you want to be sure to apply a given daytime toll for all segments on a route you'd have to apply "SnapShot" which is not available in xServer1.
