Calculation of service times enlarged
The new version V1.7.0 of the PTV Developer Sequence Optimization API is now available!
Service time calculation is an important part of time profile calculation. It models the time, which the driver needs to serve transports at a route stop. One component is the service time, which directly is dependent of the quantity of the loaded or unloaded goods.…

Improvements in solution quality for Route Optimization / New API version 1.7.0
New Feature:
With the new version of the PTV Developer Route Optimization API PTV offers a boost for optimization quality called Optimization Premium.
The higher computational capacity allows for searching in distinct search spaces in a parallel manner.…

New code sample available for Route Optimization and Sequence Optimization
A new code sample is available for Route Optimization and Sequence Optimization. It’s about transport priorities – how to address them via API and what impact transport priorities have on the result.
Check it out on Route Optimization or Sequence Optimization.…

Changing vehicle parameters at waypoints
When calculating a route with more than 2 waypoints, it often happens that logistic events occur at intermediate stops, which can modify some routing-relevant characteristics of the selected vehicle.
The most common use-case is obviously unloading or loading some goods at a stop, which implies a change of the weight of the vehicle.…

Emission calculation with alternative drive-trains
The reduction of pollution and the sustainable increase in efficiency of transport chains to improve air quality are important factors in the logistics today. ISO standards therefore have been introduced to standardize the calculation of emissions that are released.…

Fastest, shortest … and now cheapest routes
Usually the ‘FAST’ routing mode tends to reduce the driver cost of your calculated transport routes due to shorter driving times, while ‘SHORT’ routing mode rather optimizes fuel consumption costs due to a shorter travel distance.
Multiple factors should indeed be considered in order to spare money : toll costs, energy costs, vehicle cost per kilometer, or even working-time cost per hour.…
