Route planning settings

Here you will find out which general settings can be made for the route planning.

Requirements

Under Specifications you can enter a fixed departure or arrival time and define which countries are avoided in route planning. In addition you can omit ferry trips from the calculation of driving time.

In the navigation tree, select the entry Route planning > Specifications.

Make the desired settings:

Section	Element and description
Fixed departure or arrival time	Here you can specify that a fixed departure or arrival time is set for each new route. Note: Your specifications will only be incorporated into a new route plan.
Avoid countries	Use the drop-down list to define which countries should not be passed through.
Ferries	Exclude ferry time from the calculation of the driving time If this option is enabled, ferry crossings are omitted from the calculation of the driving time.
Duration of the route	Show info if the route cannot be travelled on a certain day If the option is enabled, a note is displayed if the destination cannot be reached on the same day (24:00 hours).
Direct selection profiles	Show cost profiles and salary profiles in the 'Settings' area If the option is enabled, the selection in the route planning is shown in the Settings area.
Additional restrictions	In addition to the truck restrictions stored in the map, such as clearance heights or weight restrictions for trucks, you can take extra restrictions into consideration in route planning. Note: Additional restrictions are only included in route planning if a self-created routing profile which includes truck restrictions is assigned to the vehicle. Include blocks with time-dependent restrictions If this option is enabled, time-dependent blocks, such as night driving bans, are included in route planning. Notes: If you wish to use this function, please ensure the departure date for route planning is correct. Include truck prohibition zones If this option is enabled, driving bans are included in route planning.
Itinerary	Use colours to highlight route points in low-emission zones If this option is enabled, route points in low-emission zones are denoted with colours in the itinerary.
Height data	Calculate height data If the option is enabled,

Stop-off points

Under Stop-off points special addresses (home address, favourites) can be entered and directly inserted in the list of stop-off points for route planning. A radius can also be entered for a via point, which serves as guideline for the route.

In the navigation tree, select the entry Route planning > Stop-off points.

Make the desired settings:

Section	Element and description
Via point	Specify here, as a radius, how far from the via point should be driven. Note: A via point is not directly driven to, it serves as a guideline for the route.
Home address	Here you can enter a home address which can be added directly to the list of stop-off points in route planning (see Inserting home address as stop-off point) Enter the address using the Search for Address button (see Entering addresses). Use home address as starting point If this option is enabled, the home address is always used as the starting point for route planning.
Fixed destination	Here you can specify an address which is always to be entered into the list of stop-off points as a destination. Enter the address using the Search for Address button (see Entering addresses). If this option is enabled, the destination address is always used as the destination during route planning.
Favourites	Here you can enter up to five favourites which can be added directly to the list of stop-off points in route planning (see Inserting favourites as stop-off point). Enter the address using the Search for Address button (see Entering addresses).
Stay duration	Here you can define a default stay duration for every new stop-off point. Use default stay duration If this option is enabled, the specified default stay duration for every new stop-off point is applied and included in the route calculation. Additionally, the stay duration for every stop-off point can be adjusted individually (see Entering times ).
Orders	You can shift orders in the stop-off point list. In the settings you can specify whether the associated pickup or delivery point automatically moves too when you move a stop-off point, or whether the selected stop-off point alone is moved to a new position.

Vehicles

Under Vehicles, you can specify which properties of a vehicle are displayed in the route planning drop-down list and which properties are displayed as quick info in addition to vehicle names.

Tip: Here you can specify whether or not the version description, such as truck40t_02_00_M, is to be displayed in the vehicle name.

In the navigation tree, select the entry Route planning > Vehicles.
Mark the desired properties in the column Vehicle name and Quick info.

Route corridor

Under Route corridor you can enter the width of the corridor in which addresses are searched for.

Note: The larger the corridor, the longer it will take to calculate the route.

In the navigation tree, select the entry Route planning > Route corridor.
Enter the corridor width in km.

Driving times and rest periods

Under Driving times and rest periods you can specify whether the stay duration at a stop-off point is valued as a rest period or driving time break.

In the navigation tree select the entry Route planning > Driving time and rest periods.

Make the desired settings:

Section	Element and description
Rest period	Stay duration can be used as rest period or driving time break If the option is enabled, the stay duration at a stop-off point is valued as break time or as driving break. By using the Journey length greater or equal to [hh:mm] drop-down list, you can specify the minimum stay duration after which a rest period should be planned.

Section

Element and description

Rest period

Stay duration can be used as rest period or driving time break

Emissions calculation

In the navigation tree, select the entry Route planning > Emissions calculation.

Specify the method by which emissions are to be calculated.

Element	Description
Setting Calculation according to HBEFA	If the option is enabled, emissions are calculated on the basis of HBEFA (Handbook Emission Factors for Road Transport). Note: Ensure that the emission-relevant technical data are specified for your vehicles (see Vehicle management: Specify the emission-relevant data ).
Option Calculation in accordance with EN 16258	If this option is enabled, energy consumption and the greenhouse gas emissions are calculated in accordance with the standard EN 16258 "Method for the calculation and declaration of energy consumption and emission of greenhouse gases in transport services (goods and passenger transport)". Blending of biofuels If your vehicles run on biofuel, please specify the bio component in the fuel (diesel or petrol) as a percentage.
