Route Details

This chapter explains what information is displayed for your route.

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, 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 during the planned route that could influence your planning, these will be displayed in the "Route information" panel. You can also access this panel via 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 standard mode, the information for

  • distances

  • times

  • tolls

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”

Clicking on any of the information boxes displays detailed information about the values shown.

The following sections explain the displayed information in detail.

Entfernungen

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.

Times

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.

Advanced Information on Waiting, Rest, and Break Times

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.

Toll

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.

   

Costs

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 “Cost“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.

Emissions

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.

Consumption

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).

Battery

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%).

Current Information About Your Route

If events occur during the planned route that could influence your planning, these will be displayed in the "Route information" panel. You can also access this panel via the <Route information> button.

This section displays various events affecting your route, such as:

  • Closed road sections or sections not permitted for the selected vehicle profile

  • Toll information

  • Traffic reports

Click the crosshair icon next to each event to jump directly to its location on the map.

You can choose not to display an event during recalculation by unchecking the box next to it.

Use the checkbox “Show after route calculation” to decide whether the information panel should appear automatically after calculation or only when manually opened via the “Route Information” button.
