Synchronous Time-Dependent Matrix: Traffic-Aware Routing now available
Time-dependent matrix calculations just got simpler. The PTV Developer Matrix Routing API now supports point-in-time calculations through the synchronous calculateMatrix endpoint—no polling required.
What’s New
Previously, time-dependent matrices required the asynchronous startMatrixCalculation operation.…

Maximize EV Fleet Efficiency: Introducing Breaks During Charging
Electric vehicle fleet operators face a unique scheduling challenge: both vehicles and drivers require downtime. While EVs stop to recharge, drivers must take legally mandated breaks. When scheduled separately, these activities create compounding delays that impact delivery schedules and operational costs.…

Charging-aware EV Route Optimization
Electric vans and trucks now run city logistics every day. Access rules are tighter, and many urban areas require zero-emission vehicles. These vehicles have a limited range and cannot “refuel anywhere.” Planning must include battery capacity, energy use, and charging options.…

Prohibit individual ferries
Ferries and rail shuttles (so called combined transports) are automatically used on a route, if it is advantageous compared to road. Moreover, you can choose a specific ferry or rail shuttle connection by specifying in the Routing API the corresponding start and destination coordinates and the nearest port or station is used on the route.…
-
Driving events available
With events you get detailed information about everything relevant that happens along a route in chronological order like maneuvers, border crossings or using toll roads. Moreover, in the method ‘calculateRoutePost’ of the Routing API we return schedule events, when the driver has to take a break or a rest, wait for the opening of a waypoint or perform a service.…

Introducing Route Duration Balancing
We have introduced an enhancement to our Route Optimization OptiFlow API: Route Duration Balancing. Responding to user requests for improved workload equity and predictable scheduling, this feature allows planners to distribute route durations more evenly across vehicles, aiming to improve operational efficiency and driver satisfaction.…
