Here's the output of yesterday's webinar:
QUestionAnswer
Which combination of xServer1 and 2 with which map versions will support the new toll calculation? We will provide updated toll data for Germany for the following maps and combinations xServer1 : only basic toll xServer2 : basic toll plus detailed toll We will prepare data packages for the German National toll for the 2024.1H, 2023.2H and 2023.2T. Though we decided (in summer) to restrict the “forecast version” to HERE 2023.2H the new versions will cover the TOMTOM map as well. If you are on 2023.2H you are not forced to migrate – but we recommend the update from a generic perspective.
When will the 2024.1H be available for download?It is already available for download on request. Please be aware to use the CUS for the underlying toll updates!
Will xServer 1 also support the calculation of the new toll tariffs?xServer 1 is restricted to BASIC toll and therefore less flexible by design. Please consider to switch to PTV Developer or PTV xServer2 to get access to detailed toll. Furthermore the xServer1 API won’t grant access to the new CO2EMissionClass property of a vehicle’s engine. Instead all routings of xRoute1 will apply the most expensive CO2EmissionClass 1. You won’t be able to compute basic toll for CO2EmissionClass 2,3,4,5 with xServer1.
When will the content update server get access to the new data files?The data files themselves are supposed to be ready on 27.11.2023. Data will forward them to “LDS” (Layer Delivery Server) team as quick as possible. Best case: 27.11.2023.
Is there a difference between the toll data in the Forecast and the ones in the finalized version?Yes. Forecast had a plausibility of less than 100% which means that the prices were neither confirmed nor did we ever give a 100% accuracy for any forecast.The prices for CO2 Emissionclass 2-4 were adjusted during the production of the update.
We use xServer2. Shall we use BASIC toll?For xServer2 users we recommend to use DetailedToll which is enabled by default. Basic toll is only accessible through the experimental API.

Looks like more and more partners are approaching support or order management with
we need new toll data files for our OnPremise installation - please provide a download of the zip's!
Let me drag your attention to this separation of xserver2 scenarios:
  • Many users are using the Content Update Service to update their onPremise environment. Once this tool is installed it automatically checks the Layer Delivery Server for download files and patches the local map.
  • Some users can't use the "100% automatic" version with the CUS because they need to decide manually when to patch the environment. Many of those users approach PTV with the request described above.
What many users do not know: This might be relevant these days because the new German National tariffs seem to trigger too many of the manual order management approaches.

Hi Bernd,
A quick question for you: how to deal with xRoute 1 and new german toll; co2EmissionClassEU is not present. So, is it based on date + "parameter": "EMISSION_CLASS"? I tried without success.
Kind Regards

Hi Daniele,

all xRoute1 routings with a toll date after 1.12.2023 will apply CO2EMissionClassEU=1... (check the posts above).

Let's be very specific:
  • If you mean "EMISSION_CLASS" such as EURO_1, EURO_2, ... EURO_5, EURO_6... the prices will change between the classes. But the will ALL be based on CO2EmissionClassEu=1.
    Also some example based on xRoute1 (prod HERE) ... Same waypoints and profile, I just iterated over the EMISSION_CLASS = EURO_0, EURO_1....
    Also some example based on xRoute1 (prod HERE) ... Same waypoints and profile, I just iterated over the EMISSION_CLASS = EURO_0, EURO_1....
  • In xServer2 the EMISSION_CLASS is com.ptvgroup.xserver.vehicleprofile.EmissionStandardEU
  • And the CO2EmissionCLassEu exists as a new property of VehicleProfile.Engine:
    New property in xServer2 "VehicleProfile.Engine"
    New property in xServer2 "VehicleProfile.Engine"

Here's some announcement which affects the "availability of the new German National Toll (1.12.2023) through a released API (v2.31)" as discussed in this thread. Unfortunately the initial 16.12.2023 has to be replaced by 16.1.2024.
Sorry for that ...
