4.1.4 Route calculation and recalculation
Your software calculates the route based on your preferences:
• Route planning methods:
•
: Gives a quick route if you can travel at or near the speed
limit on all roads. Usually the best selection for fast and normal cars.
•
: Gives a route that has the smallest total distance of all
possible routes. It can be practical for slow vehicles.
•
: Combines the benefits of Fast and Short: The software
calculates as if it were calculating the Fast route, but it takes other roads as well
to save fuel.
•
: Results in a route with fewer turns and no difficult
manoeuvres. With this option, you can make your software to take, for example,
the motorway instead of a series of smaller roads or streets.
• Vehicle types:
•
:
• Manoeuvre restrictions and directional constraints are taken into account
when planning a route.
• Roads are used only if access for cars is allowed.
• Private roads and resident-only roads are used only if they are inevitable
to reach the destination.
• Walkways are excluded from routes.
•
:
• Neither manoeuvre restrictions nor directional constraints are taken into
account when planning a route.
• Roads are used only if access for pedestrians is allowed.
• Controlled-access roads are excluded from routes.
• A private road is used only if the destination is there.
• Speed limits are not used in route calculation and an average walking
speed is used when calculating the estimated time of arrival.
•
:
• Manoeuvre restrictions and directional constraints (if they are applied to
bicycles in the map data) are taken into account when planning a route.
• Roads are used only if access for bicycles or pedestrians is allowed.
• Controlled-access roads are excluded from routes.
