Hello together,

we would like to provide you the latest news about PTV xServer:

PTV xServer 2.3 was released last week!
It is available for download http://xserver.ptvgroup.com/en-uk/devel ... -download/

For details about the services you find the corresponding release notes here. Some highlights are:
xLocate
  • xLocate now allows to search for addresses using structured input (aka multi-field). (This feature is experimental, that means API changes my occur in the future).
  • Search for locations by a list of addresses is now possible (aka bulk geocoding). (This feature is experimental, that means API changes my occur in the future).
xRoute/xDima
  • Geographic restrictions allow and prohibit countries and continents consideration during the route calculation.
xTour
  • Planning horizons can now be considered.
  • There are now parameters to limit the maximum travel and driving time of a tour.
xLoad
  • Converted from experimental to productive usage.
xCluster
  • Beside the free CBC solver the commercial Gurobi solver can be used to improve performance.
Some additional notes:
  • The PTV xServer 2 requires a 2017.1 map or newer.
  • The corresponding geocoding data for on-premise solutions is on request. It is not included in the map. This is required for running xLocate. (The data is only available for PTV Europe City Map 2017.1 and 2017.2 from HERE). On the other hand this data is installed for cloud solutions.
  • The test system on PTV xServer internet has PTV Europe City Map 2017.2 (HERE) installed. A productive system is planned for October.
Toll update Belgium available
  • You can download it from the customer area of the PTV Developer Zone or use automatic update with the PTV Content Update Service.
  • For PTV Mapserver please use the current version of the PTV Toll Update Tool.
  • PTV xServer internet was updated recently.
  • Content of the toll update:
    Liefkenshoek Tunnel with new time-dependent (day/night) rate. This scenario includes the toll charges from july 2017, for trucks from a maximum authorised mass over 3,5 t in the three Belgian regions: Wallonia, Flanders and Brussels. Toll roads include motorways, additional main roads and the local road network in Brussels. Toll charges are calculated based on kilometre factors and depend on the road type and further depend on the emission class and total weight of the vehicle.
