As we all know, it's not allowed to drive heavy-trucks form 10 p.m. until 5.am.
How can i achieve this to be considered?
My scenario -> multi-day-trips -> I use EU_DRIVING_TIME_REGULATION_FOR_MULTIPLE_DAYS but still he drives during the night.
Thanks in advance!

Hello Claus,

I anticipate you refer to the Austrian / Swiss rules that do not allow "driving between 22:00 and 07:00 without a special permit"?

The reponse depends on the API in use:

• With xTour2 you could use the BreakInterval to define a required Break between 22:00 and 07:00 with a length of 9 hours. If you simply cut the breaks from the drivers operating intervals you'd run into the issue that a single trip has to be started AND ended within an interval - this would cause daily roundtrips".
• Developer Route Optimization (maintenance mode): we never forwarded the BreakIntervals to this API
• Developer RouteOPtimization Optiflow: As of today the API does not support other rules then "after seconds of driving/working enforce a break of at least ... seconds".
