Editing a stop

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.

To edit all the settings of a stop, first activate the calculation mode "Dynamic". By clicking on 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

    Driving and rest times

    Additional criteria:

    • Avoid toll roads

    • Avoid countries

    • Cost optimisation

    • Hazardous goods

Note: You can also access these options via the button . This will take you to the "Routing settings" panel. 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 grey, click on it.

The side panel for editing the stop now opens.

The following options are available to you here:

  • Stop no..

  • Start time

    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.

    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 the option. Number fields for the service time duration are displayed.

  1. In these fields, you can now enter the duration of the service period in hours and minutes – and, if necessary, in days as well.

    Note: Minute values that exceed 60 will automatically be converted into hours and minutes. Hour values that exceed 24 will automatically be converted into days and hours.

Editing the time slot for a stop

  1. In the "Time slot" field, click the icon to expand the option. Two number fields for the time slot are displayed.

  1. Now click in the two number fields. Here you can manually enter times for the start and end of the time slot.

Editing the load for a stop

  1. In the "Load" field, click on the icon to expand the option. Two number fields for the loading and unloading are displayed.

  1. 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.

  1. 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 hazardous goods

  1. In the "Hazardous goods" field, click the icon to expand the option. Various options for hazardous goods are displayed.

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

      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.

  1. Activate the first option if dangerous goods are to be loaded at this stop. The following settings then apply until the end of the route or until the stop at which the hazardous goods are unloaded again. 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.
