Editing a stop

If you have defined a list of stops for your route and you want the route to be calculated in dynamic mode, i.e. taking into individual settings you can define these settings individually for each stop. You can also define stop costs, i.e. costs incurred for each individual stop, in standard mode regardless of the "Dynamic" calculation mode.

First activate the calculation mode "Dynamic".

Via the <Options> button you can then

  • set an exact time for the start of the tour

  • activate the criteria to be included in the calculation of the route details.
    These are:

    Service times

    Time slots

    Loading and unloading

    Traffic information

    Rest periods and driving times

    Further crideria:

    • Avoid toll roads

    • Avoid countries

    • Cost optimization

    • Hazardous goods

You can also access these options via the button. This will take you to the "Routing settings" area. Explanations for the individual options are also displayed there on the "General" tab.

As an additional setting, you can also specify here for the "Loading" setting whether the effect of the load is to be calculated

  • "As entered" - i.e. according to the settings for the individual stops

  • "Full" - i.e. with the permissible total weight of the vehicle throughout or

  • "Empty" - i.e. only with the unladen weight of the vehicle

Note: The effect of the load on the emissions during a route can only be calculated if a calculation method in accordance with HBEFA is set for the emissions (see "Settings"), as other methods do not include the load as a factor.

You can also specify which directive should be used to take driving and rest times into account.

Note: The settings for these options are evaluated for the entire route,
not just for individual stops.

You can find an overview of the routing settings here.

You can now define settings for each stop individually. To do this, move the mouse pointer over the stop you want to edit. As soon as it is highlighted in gray, click on it.

The side panel for editing the stop now opens.

The following options are available to you here:

  • Stop no..
    You can use the arrows and to switch back and forth between the various stops on the route.

  • Address and coordinates
    The address and coordinates of the stop are displayed. Here, you can copy the coordinates of the stop to the clipboard using the symbol . The symbol zooms in on the stop and centers it on the map.

  • Start time
    The planned time of arrival at the stop is displayed here.

  • Departure time
    The planned departure time from the stop is displayed here

The start and departure times are only displayed if the route has been calculated before. If no service time and/or time slot has been defined for the stop, the start time is the same as the departure time.

  • Service time
    This setting is used to enter the scheduled time for activities at the stop.

  • Time slots
    This setting is used to specify the time window in which the stop can be approached and loading or unloading activities can take place.

  • Load /
    The loading and unloading at the stop can be entered here.

  • Hazardous goods
    Settings for the hazard status of the load with regard to road restrictions

  • Comment
    You can make comments on the stop via a free text field.

  • Stop-off point costs
    Costs for the stop can be entered here. These costs are included in the cost calculation for the route - regardless of the route calculation mode.

  • Delete stop-off point
    Use this button to remove the stop from the route.

To change the individual settings, proceed as described below.

Editing the service time of a stop

  1. In the "Service time" field, click on the icon to expand.

  2. Now click in the number field (default setting 00:00). Here you can either enter a time manually in hours and minutes or specify this time using the selector switch.

  3. As soon as you click on another part of the window from the number field, your service time for this stop is saved.


Editing the time slot for a stop

  1. In the "Time slot" field, click the icon to expand.

  2. Now click in the first number field. Here you can either enter a time for the start of the time slot manually or specify this time using the selector switch. Proceed in the same way with the second number field for the end of the time slot.

  3. As soon as you click on another position in the window from the number field, the time slot for this stop is saved.


Editing the load for a stop

  1. In the "Load" field, click on the icon to expand.

  2. Now click in the number field for loading or unloading - depending on whether cargo is to be loaded and/or unloaded at the stop. Here you can either enter a load manually or increase/decrease it in quarter ton increments using the + and - buttons.

  3. As soon as you click on another part of the window from the number field, the load for this stop is saved.


Make settings for dangerous goods

  1. In the "Hazardous goods" field, click the icon to expand.

  2. If dangerous goods are to be transported on your route, you can now decide for this stop whether

    • Hazardous goods are to be loaded into the vehicle

      or

    • all hazardous goods in the vehicle are to be unloaded

    As soon as you select one of the two options, the "Off" display next to the "Dangerous goods" field title switches to "On". This means that road restrictions for dangerous goods are analysed from this point onwards.

    Note: You can only select one of the two options for a stop. If dangerous goods are to be both loaded and unloaded at a stop, this does not change the fact that there are still dangerous goods in the vehicle - only the hazard code may change as a result.

  3. Activate the first option if dangerous goods are to be loaded at this stop. You can now:

  • determine whether

    • explosive goods

      and/or

    • goods harmful to water

    are to be loaded at this stop

  • set the tunnel code (according to ADR) for the dangerous goods

  1. Activate the second option if all dangerous goods loaded in this vehicle are to be unloaded at this stop. The evaluation of road restrictions regarding dangerous goods ends at this stop.

  1. In the "Comment" field, click on the icon to expand.

  2. Now click in the text field. You can enter a free text comment here. The input is limited to 255 characters and does not allow formatting.
