Calculating/Optimising the route

After you have entered the stop-off points and the settings, begin route planning on the toolbar using Calculate or Optimise.

Calculate the route

If the sequence of the specified stop-off points are not to be optimised, start the route planning with Calculate or with the F9 key.

Alternatively, you can start the route calculation by clicking on the Itinerary, Costs, Emissions, Report or Freight exchange tabs.

Tip: You can calculate up to three alternative routes.

Optimising routes

The stop-off points are listed in the sequence in which they were entered. If three or more stop-off points are entered, the sequence of stop-off points can be entered, thus optimising the route.

PTV Map&Guide intranet checks the sequence which provides the best route. The stop-off points are sorted accordingly and the route is calculated.

Note: The sequence optimisation includes driving breaks and rest periods as well as time slots if these routing options are enabled (see Specifying settings for route planning).

The sequence of stop-off points is optimised.

Customising sequence optimisation settings

You can define how and for which stop-off points in the list the sequence is optimised and if the route planning should start directly.
