Hi there,

these days I was asked by several customers how to enable the FreeFlowSpeed parameter within routing. As this question has affects xRoute, xDima, xTour (and any other routing based server module) I decided to place it in the generic forum:

I'd like to go a little bit more into details:

FreeFlowSpeed values are an alternative to the speed mechanism provided by PTVs traditional speedclass/networkclass approach (SC/NC): our data providers deliver a specific speed value called FreeFlowSpeed. It's usage disables (replaces) the SP/NC.
You need access to the corresponding feature layer (proper license keys (e.g. xroute.featureLayerThemes), additional data)

WIthin the request or profile you have to use the following parameters

@\Routing\Course\DynamicRouting\useFreeFlowSpeed=true
@\FeatureLayer\GlobalSettings\enableTimeDependency=false
@\FeatureLayer\Themes\Theme\id="PTV_SpeedPatterns" enabled="true"

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<Profile>
    <Routing majorVersion="2" minorVersion="0">
        <Course>
            <AdditionalDataRules enabled="true"/>
            <DynamicRouting limitDynamicSpeedToStaticSpeed="false" useFreeFlowSpeed="true"/>
        </Course>
    </Routing>
    <FeatureLayer majorVersion="1" minorVersion="0">
        <GlobalSettings enableTimeDependency="false"/>
        <Themes>
            <Theme id="PTV_SpeedPatterns" enabled="true"/>
        </Themes>
    </FeatureLayer>
</Profile>

Further examples are available in the built-in documentation.
