How to include train sector in HERE generated road routes? - here-api

We have a question.
On HERE maps can we generate the truck route including RO-LA / train?
For example: The route will be from Kufstein-Austria to Italy-Milan, but from Worgl to Brenner or from Worgl to Trento the truck takes the train, and from Trento continue its way on the road).
For ferry I know it is, but for train there is this possibility?

There is support for only limited Train routes for Truck routing available via the HERE Routing API, like the channel tunnel. The other train routes are not supported by the API at the moment.

HERE Maps - truck restrictions

I'm using the Here API to calculate routes for trucks with 40t. Using the HERE devtools, i got the same error of my APP. The answer is "The API can't calculate the route because of illegal access". I checked the map (image attached) and in the street where my journey will start, with a difference of some meters, it exists two limitations 12t and 18t. The street is one way... If you see the satellite image exists several trucks... The company is testing the software says the trucks goes their...
Can some help me on this?

If you want to ignore the restrictions for trucks in the route, add the parameter truckRestrictionPenalty and set the value to soft.
The route violating truck restrictions is indicated in the response with dedicated route and manoeuvre notes. The route with the note of the type violation and the text truckRestriction may be travelled at your own responsibility. While driving on such a route, extra care has to be taken as it may result in a vehicle or road infrastructure damage.
You can read more about the parameter here.
Thanks for your feedback, but we are using the Fleet Telematics Api not the Routing API. Using your info, We researched a litle more and we found the equivalent parameter: ignoreWaypointVehicleRestriction.
We added these params &ignoreWaypointVehicleRestriction=5000;0;all and the API returned the route with the warning.
Thanks,

How to calculate Over Posted Speed Limit on highway using lat,long in here map

I have latitude and longitude where my car is driving on highway. I want to know whether my car speed is greater than highway speed where I am driving
You can achieve this by using the simple Routing API(used for routing usecases) or Fleet Telematics API(used for complex routing problems like trucks).
Routing API: The below example provides the speed limits in a particular route. You can check this against your car speed limit to verify if you are driving within limits. Read more about the api in Here developer site - https://developer.here.com/documentation/routing/topics/resource-get-route.html
https://route.api.here.com/routing/7.2/calculateroute.json?waypoint0=41.69758,-87.78397&waypoint1=41.70056,-87.77429&mode=fastest;car&storage=readonly&linkAttributes=speedLimit&app_code=yyyyy&app_id=xxxx&representation=linkPaging
Fleet Telematics API: You can get the speedlimit information along a route using this api as well. Here provides numerous examples on how to do this in https://tcs.ext.here.com/examples site. Just login with your Here credentials and search for speed. You can take a look at the source code there. You can also read more about this api in Here website https://developer.here.com/documentation/fleet-telematics/dev_guide/index.html
Hope you find these useful!Happy Coding!

How to use HERE Maps to develop custom routing algorithms?

I am trying to use HERE Maps to implement the eco-routing algorithm which we developed in our lab that requires real time traffic data as an input to the routing algorithm. So far, we were using INRIX dataset to verify our algorithms, but we decided to move to HERE Maps, and use the Traffic API to harness the power of real time traffic data.
Traffic API was very simple to use, and I managed to get the traffic data for a bounding box. It seems like that the traffic flow is passed for each TMC. My question is how to assign the traffic flow data to the links of the map using TMC. More specifically, I am wondering if there is a way to transform the TMC values to an adjacency matrix so that I can assign the traffics to each link and run my optimization algorithm over that graph? Also is it possible to overlay Open Street Maps (OSM) with the HERE Maps traffic data?
Thanks
You can associate the TMC data you get from the traffic data response to a particular link by using PDE layers LINK_TMC_FC1..5. You have look into our PDE documentation in developer site and tcs.ext.here.com/pde/maps?url_root=pde.api.here.com to see the list of layers provided.
Below is a sample PDE request for the Link TMC. Replace app id and code placeholders with actuals:
https://pde.api.here.com/1/tile.json?&layer=LINK_TMC_FC1&level=9&tilex=496&tiley=358&region=WEU&release=18131&url_root=pde.api.here.com&app_id={YOUR-APP-ID}&app_code={YOUR-APP-CODE}
For all your other questions on creating a matrix and OSM overlay, you have to write your own algorithm. There is no straight forward function provided by Here.

Here API Routing - Avoid unpaved roads

can anyone write how to avoid unpaved roads in Here routing (or truck routing) in REST API? I have checked API and I couldn't find answer. Routing API routes cars or trucks via dirty roads, what is unaccepted.
RouteFeatureType:The routing features can be used to define special conditions on the calculated route. The user can weight each feature with non-positive weights.
Possible paramers are: tollroad, motorway, boatFerry, railFerry, tunnel, dirtRoad,
park.
The Feature weights are used to define weighted conditions on special route features like tollroad,
motorways, etc.
-3 strictExclude The routing engine guarantees that the route does not contain strictly
excluded features. If the condition cannot be fulfilled no route is returned.
-2 softExclude The routing engine does not consider links containing the corresponding
feature. If no route can be found because of these limitations the condition is weakened.
-1 avoid The routing engine assigns penalties for links containing the corresponding
feature.
0 normal The routing engine does not alter the ranking of links containing the
corresponding feature.
Of course does the map content play also a huge role here. It is needed for the routing that the attribution e.g. for a dirt road (unpaved road segment) is set correctly.
