Hi there,

XSERS-1653

is it possible to define a routing profile which enables a vehicle to drive in the wrong direction e.g. in roundabouts or one way streets?

I know that there's a mechanism called "violations" which mainly deals with "ignore physical dimensions" based on PTV_TruckAttributes. But this does not deal with the driving direction.

If the direction can be "overridden":

Which interfaces support these settings?
What are the required parameters?

Best regards,
Bernd

let's have a look at the profile parameter oppositeDirectionInOneWayRoadMalus:

By setting this value from the default (2501) to a more flexible value (0) we allow the engine to use segments in the "wrong direction" (both screenshots based on xRouteServer1):

: Simple one way street
left = 2501: detour
right = 0 : driving against a street's own direction

: famous roundabout near the Karlsruher Oststadt ;-)

Here's aanother example:

: Another example: route starts on a highway (eastern part of the pic) and finally ends on a turn which is not available on a regular base
