The Traffic Add-on in Routal is a service designed to optimize routes more efficiently by incorporating both real-time traffic conditions and the specific characteristics of the vehicle being used.
How It Works
Vehicle type: You can select the type of vehicle to be used (bicycle, motorcycle, car, truck with specific dimensions, or on foot). This will be taken into account during route calculation.
Features to avoid: You can set your vehicles to avoid tolls, highways, tunnels, and more.
Real-time traffic conditions: The system analyzes live traffic data to ensure that the proposed routes are optimal based on the current state of the roads. This significantly improves the accuracy and efficiency of the calculated routes.
Activation and Usage
Go to Project Settings and activate the Traffic Add-on.
Once enabled, you can define the vehicle type and features to avoid via Project Settings > Optimizer.
You can also configure it within a plan by clicking the three dots in the upper-right corner and selecting Optimizer settings from the dropdown menu.
Important: The Traffic Add-on applies to the entire project. It cannot be limited to, or activated only for, specific vehicles.
