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

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:

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.
