Preferred truck routes meet navigation
Michael HubschneiderPTV AG
23rd Partner meeting, 17.-19.03.2010, Berlin
Truck navigation knows about truck restrictions- Legal restrictions
- Physical restrictions
- Warnings
Why is truck navigation different?
Truck navigation has different requirements for routes- Avoiding U-turns
- Avoiding residential areas
- Avoiding smaller streets
- Access to restricted areas
Truck navigation integration- Needs a programmable interface
- Can be applied with different systems and hardware
33rd Partner meeting, 17.-19.03.2010, Berlin
Individual interest Optimizing personal time/distance
Individual interests vs. communal interests
Communal interest Protecting sensible city areas
Thinking in street capacities and traffic emmissions
43rd Partner meeting, 17.-19.03.2010, Berlin
Develop algorithmsroutes for integration into a navigation system for truck preferred routing
Modelling a routing network for trucks on desktop routing software, that fits both communal needs and trucker needs
Project aims
Develop a system how the learned mechanisms can be transferred to other towns
Transfer the preferred routing network to the navigation system, building the first navigation system that is able to prefer communal truck routes
53rd Partner meeting, 17.-19.03.2010, Berlin
Keep it simple and stupid (KISS)It has to be very simple to be integrated by any navigation systems developer
Works like the brain with two simple methodsPrefer and avoid – a bonus/malus system
Routing algorithms
Preferred road segments get a bonus,road segments that should be avoided get a malus
Bonus / malus have different strengths
Like in the brain – the location decides on the effect.
63rd Partner meeting, 17.-19.03.2010, Berlin
Collect data (routes, POI, truck restrictions)
Modelling the routing network
Define test routes- Routes targeting industrial zones
- Routes crossing the town
- Intercommunal routes
Model test
Improve the model (adding bonus/malus to segments)
Recognize and summarize the systematics behind the model
73rd Partner meeting, 17.-19.03.2010, Berlin
Trucks shall use the defined preferred routes when driving to industrial areas from the motorway
Truck routes crossing the town center are not wanted, it is better to use more motorways
Avoid routes that are charged by high emmissions / traffic
But don‘t generate too high detours, routes still have to be reasonable
The objectives for the route model
83rd Partner meeting, 17.-19.03.2010, Berlin
Bridging (Not preferred roads that would connect preferred routes) are highly attractive
The recognized problems
Accessability to all parts of an industrial area through one entry
Avoiding areas (like city centers)
Avoiding congested or high emmission areas
Systematical problems
Avoiding certain road which tend to lead routes through narrow streets around the area (traffic evasion)
Influencing the system too strongly leads to too many detours
93rd Partner meeting, 17.-19.03.2010, Berlin
Boni should only be applied up to 40%, on motorways up to 80%
Recognized systematics / methods to solve the problems
Mali should only be applied cautiously, only in special situations, else it can lead to traffic evasion
Mali make sense for avoiding areas like city centers
Sometimes mali make sense on bottlenecks like bridges
Check with test sets with focus on- Taking the desired roads
- Time/distance effects
- Integrate local experts and stakeholders

Communities and Organisations have to team-up internationally for promoting the necessity of preferred truck routing
Bringing preferred truck routes to reality
Solutions to easily create preferred route models through the web are needed, using the same systematics
The preferred routes have to be collected in open databases
Map manufacturers have to use the data and provide it for the navigation system providers
Navigation system providers bring it to the mass market.
