How to consider "roads blocked in winter" (xroute 1 and 2)

[Bernd Welter]

Hi there,

I've been asked whether and how PTV routing can consider the information that some roads are blocked in winter time (e.g. in the swiss alps).

Well, here's some relevant info:

• technically spoken there's a segment attribute "blocked in winter" (unfortunately I don't know how to visualize such segments at the moment)
• in xroute 1 it is possible to define a malus value for such segments. Of course 2501 means "forbidden". The disadvantage of this approach is that the user has to decide whether it is winter or not

  Code: Select all

  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
  <Profile>
  	<Routing majorVersion="2" minorVersion="0">
  		<Course>
  			<BasicDataRules>
  				<Blockings blockedInWinterMalus="2501"/>
  			</BasicDataRules>
  		</Course>
  	</Routing>
  </Profile>

  

  comparison of the malus values :
  0 = allowed (without any special treatment of the relevant segments)
  2501 = special segments are forbidden

• As of today (22.8.2022) this feature is not available in xRoute2 and Developer.

Best regards,
Bernd

I expect the "blockedInWinter" handling in v2.31
