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.…

Sometimes length matters ;-)
Usually a route is optimized for travel time. The result is a fast route a real driver would follow accepting a longer distance, if necessary. But there are use cases where you want to optimize a route for distance, for example in case of billing purposes based on distance.…

Traffic events

For this we offer in the new version of the PTV Developer Routing API V1.11.0 the request parameter ‘GUIDED_NAVIGATION’ to get the calculated route in an additional format easy to import in PTV Navigator.…
