Custom Vehicle Types
In addition to standard vehicle types like
car or truck, you can also use custom vehicle types. The steps below describe this process: - When you are modifying an overlay,
overrideoperations on theLINK_ATTRIBUTE_FCNlayer can change the vehicle types that are allowed on this particular link. You can specify standard vehicle types likecarortruck, and also custom vehicle typescustom1,custom2,custom3, orcustom4. Use a comma separated list to add custom vehicles in addition to standard vehicles. - For routing calls, the vehicle types
custom1,custom2,custom3orcustom4can be specified instead of, or in addition to (using a comma separated list),carortruck. Then the Routing API only uses the links that are allowed for (any of) the specified vehicle type(s). - If certain vehicles in your truck fleet are allowed to use certain links, but others are forbidden, then you can override the vehicle types of these links by allowing
custom1, additionally. For routing calls, you can either specifymode=truck,custom1so that the truck can use those links, or just specifymode=truckto get the normal behavior.
