Driver Regulations

Post by centz »

Hello,

in the german driver regulations,the break period has to be a 30 minute break first, then a 15 minute break.
If i set the parameters the way described in the online manual, this order sometimes gets violated.
Also there is waiting time at the tour point due to the service period, this break is not allowed to be considered as a "break" by the german driver regulations.

Is there a way to set the parameters so the order of the break is kept?

Greetings

We need to analyze a concrete request / response for that, so please provide it here or get in touch with support or your primary contact at PTV.

You can specify a boolean parameter useServicePeriodForRecreation to tell the server whether the driver can use the service period at the stop for the Break rules or not. This property is part of TransportPoint class so it is available for each stop of the pool.

Best regards Bernd

After further testings, it seems we are not able to reproduce this behavior.
If it happens again, i will try to send the specific request to your support.

Best regards

Thanks for the status message - if the condition occurs again let us know - preferably via support so we can check it internal before we communicate the solution in public :ugeek:
