Sequence Optimization API V1.3.0

  • Feature: New vehicle profiles for region IMEA available.
    For Africa, Middle East and Asia there are four vehicle profiles available.
    Check details about vehicle profiles and supported countries in the concept page.
  • Feature: Added functionality for “Drivers’ Working Hours” to specify restrictions on working time and driving time of drivers and enforce breaks periods. Therefore added fields ‘workingHoursPreset’ and ‘breakRule’ to ‘Driver’.
    Note that from this release on, the working and driving time will be unlimited, unless specified otherwise.
    Previously, EU driving time regulations were applied as the default. To achieve the same behavior as before, set workingHoursPreset to EU_DRIVING_TIME_REGULATION.
