Time Window Support
Optimized routing functionality in Map Business Online will now include the ability to set arrival time, departure time and required stay duration for a stop. This new time window functionality will allow dispatch managers, drivers, and traveling sales people to more accurately plan, document and share their driving routes. Route optimization plans with time windows can be imported from pre-formatted third party address datasets including Excel or CSV files. Time estimates will now be included in MBO turn-by-turn direction output. Users will be able to export estimated time durations per stop in addition to total trip time.
Time-based route functionality is user selected by turning on Trip Planning in the MBO Route options window.
Recalculate Routes to Accommodate Route Barriers
Route optimization calculations will now include the ability to define route barriers and generate optimized route detours which will adjust travel estimates accordingly. MBO planners will represent actual barriers to routes, traffic issues or construction, as polygon or rectangle map objects. MBO will recalculate the route based on barrier extent, adjusting the map view and turn-by-turn directions with time estimates.
Calculated route information is now exportable as a data file supporting GPX, ITN, CSV and HTML file formats. Generated route file datasets may also be copied to clipboard for use in third party spreadsheet applications.
Traffic Awareness
Time support for route management will also enable road traffic support for MBO route calculations. Both historic and real-time traffic information is added to optimized route calculations improving route time estimations and providing the opportunity to recalculate routes through areas that are less obstructed by traffic.
