Route Details

This chapter explains what information is displayed for your route. For the output of detailed route information as PDF, see Route details output as a report.

Further information can be found in the sections below:

Once you have calculated a route with multiple stops, the route and its stops are listed in the left-hand panel.

The display varies depending on the calculation mode:

  • Standard → Based on a selected standard vehicle profile, the distances between stops and driving time (excluding service times, time windows, etc.) are also displayed..

  • dynamisch → In this case, the route includes additional information by incorporating service times, time windows, loading, traffic information, typical traffic load and driving/rest times. Depending on the settings for each stop, service times are shown in gray. If driving and rest times are considered, suggested breaks with corresponding stations are also displayed. For both stops and breaks, the distance traveled so far and the targeted time are shown. You can also use custom vehicle profiles in dynamic mode.

More details about the stop list can be found under “Information in the stop list“.

If events occur along the planned route that could affect your planning, these are displayed in the "Route information" panel. You can also open the panel at any time using the <Route information> / button.

(See also the section “Current information about your route“ below.)

The center of the screen shows the route on the map.

In the right-hand panel, under the “Overview” tab, you’ll find details on distances, driving and travel time, tolls, costs, emissions, and fuel consumption.

Note: To gain more space for the map view, you can hide the right panel with the route details at any time. Hide the route details by clicking the at the top left or the icon at the bottom right. You can also use this icon to show the route results again.
Note: The “Profit” tab leads to the calculation view, which helps you determine realistic sales prices for orders and calculate margins. See the chapter “Optimize margin“ for more details.

The displayed values depend on whether your route was calculated in Standard or Dynamic mode. Some values are also calculated based on your vehicle profile settings. For example, toll costs may apply to some vehicle profiles but not others.

When calculating a route in standardmode, the information for

  • distances

  • times

  • tolls

  • costs (also per country)

  • emissions

  • consumption

is determined based on standard values, known road and toll information, and values that may be derived from the vehicle profile (see “Vehicles“ module). This is color-coded in the header of each information section. Cost information is also influenced by time slots, service times, rest times, and driving times.

 

In Dynamic mode, the following user-defined criteria are also included in the calculation:

Service times: Affects “Travel Time”

Time slots: Affects “Travel Time”

Loading/unloading: May affect “Distance,” “Toll Distance,” and thus “Driving Time,” “Travel Time,” and possibly “Toll Costs”

Traffic information: May affect “Distance,” “Toll Distance,” and thus “Driving Time,” “Travel Time,” and possibly “Toll Costs”

Rest and driving times: Affects “Travel Time”

In addition, dynamic mode also takes into account the traffic load typical for the planned time of the route. Clicking on any of the information boxes displays detailed information about the values shown.

The following sections explain the displayed information in detail.

Click the “Distances” information box to view the calculated distances within the route. The following information is displayed:

  • Total calculated distance

  • Total toll road distance

  • Percentage of toll road distance

For cross-border routes, distances and toll distances are also broken down by country.

Click the “Times” information box to view the following details:

  • Driving time

    and in dynamic mode, additionally:

  • Service times

  • Waiting times

  • Break times

  • Rest times

For cross-border routes, times are also broken down by country. Click the , icon to view more details on rest, break, and waiting times. See the next subsection “Advanced Information on Waiting, Rest, and Break Times“ for more details.

In the routing settings under “Lenk- und Ruhezeiten“ -> “Stays,” you can activate the following options:

  • “Stay time can be used as break or driving time pause“

  • “Use ferry times as rest and driving time pauses“

If enabled, the detail view shows additional information on rest, break, and waiting times.

Click the , icon to open the extended view. The right half of the table lists in three columns when:

  • Break times (coffee cup icon)

  • Rest times (bed icon)

  • Waiting times (hourglass icon)

occur. Click the , icon again to hide the extended view.

Note: If none of the above options are enabled in the routing settings, this extended view is not available, and the icon is not shown.

Click the “Toll” information box to view the toll costs for the route. For cross-border routes, toll costs are also broken down by country.

Note: Please note that the toll costs shown here are net costs, i.e., they do not include the value-added tax applicable in the respective country.

As soon as changes to toll costs are announced by the public authorities, you can include these in your route planning. In such cases, a note about the upcoming change is displayed in the "Toll" section.

  • You can use the <Update route> button to automatically set the start date of the route to the date on which the change comes into effect and calculate the route with the future toll rate.

  • Via <Create new route> you can create a second route with the same settings, but with the date on which the toll change comes into force as the start date. You can then calculate and compare both toll variants in parallel (see "Compare routes").

Example: In the example shown here, reference is made to a planned toll increase in the Netherlands on 1.7.2026. With <Update route> the start date for the calculated route is set to 1.6.2026. After recalculating the route, the toll costs are then displayed under "Details" with the future toll costs and without a note. With <Create new route>, the same route is created in parallel to the existing route (with the old start date) with 1.7.2026 as the start date, and both routes can be compared directly after the recalculation.

Note: If you calculate your route(s) in dynamic mode, you can set the date so that the future toll costs apply by selecting the departure/arrival time using the "Toll data" -> < Apply> function.

This means that the effective date of the new toll costs is taken as the reference date. You can of course also manually set a date after this reference date.

If you calculate your route(s) in standard mode, you cannot select an individual departure or arrival date at this point, but you can still activate the calculation according to future tolls.

This means that the calculation is still carried out in standard mode, but the start date is fictitiously set to the effective date of the new toll. You can deactivate this setting again using the "Reset" icon.

Click the “Costs” information box to view a breakdown of the calculated route costs.

  • General costs depend on the settings in the vehicle and cost profiles (see “Vehicles“ and “Costs“modules) and on the costs defined for individual stops.

  • Route costs may vary depending on the calculation mode, as including all criteria in dynamic mode can affect the route and driving time.

  • Toll costs are summarized again here (see “Toll“ for details).

For cross-border routes, costs are also broken down by country.

By clicking on the “Costs per country” information box, you will see the calculated costs for the route broken down by country and listed in a table. The table can be scrolled sideways, with the first column containing the country code and flag fixed in place.

The table contains the following information:

  • The toll scenario applied and the toll route

  • Stop costs

  • Ferry and train costs

  • Time costs

  • Route costs

  • Toll charges

  • Fixed costs for the entire route

Click the “Emissions” information box to view the calculated emissions for the route. These are based on:

  • Route length

  • Emission standard (see “Settings“ module)

  • Vehicle consumption values (see “Vehicles“ module).

You can also break down the calculated emissions according to the GLEC framework. For this, loading/unloading must be defined for the respective stops.

Note: GLEC calculation results can also be downloaded as a PDF report. See “Export route results“ for details.

 
Note: In some combinations of vehicle and emission standard, emissions cannot be calculated. In such cases, a message is shown on the previous details page. The included link leads to the “Settings” area, where you can change the emission standard if needed.

Click the “Consumption” information box to view the calculated consumption values for the route. These depend on:

  • Route length

    Consumption values from the vehicle profile (see “Vehicles“ module).

If the selected vehicle is electric, the “Details” section also shows battery charge information. The route starts with an assumed 100% charge, and the charge level at the end of the route is calculated.

The charge level is also visualized on the map with a color gradient from green (100%) to red (0%).

If events occur along the planned route that could affect your planning, these are displayed in the "Route information" panel. You can also open the panel at any time using the <Route information> / button.

The panel displays various events that affect your route, for example:

  • Blocked sections or sections for which the selected vehicle profile is not permitted.

  • Toll information

  • Traffic reports

A distinction is made between two types of messages:

  • Routing violations (critical)

    • Prevent the actual execution of the route.

    • The button is displayed with a red symbol.

    • The corresponding entry in the panel is highlighted with a red bar.

    • Example: blocked route sections.

  • Relevant information (not critical)

    • Information that is important for planning but does not prevent the route.

    • The button is displayed with a blue symbol.

    • The entry in the panel is displayed with a blue bar.

    • Example: Information on toll regulations.

You can jump directly to the location of the event on the map using the crosshair symbol next to each event.

You can specify for each event that it is no longer displayed when the route is recalculated. To do this, deactivate the checkbox to the right of the respective entry.

You can use the "Show after route calculation" checkbox to specify whether the information panel is to be opened

  • automatically after each route calculation,

  • or only by manual call via the button.
