2. 2 3rd 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

3. 3 3rd 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

4. 4 3rd 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

5. 5 3rd 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 methods Prefer 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.

6. 6 3rd 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

7. 7 3rd 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

8. 8 3rd 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

9. 9 3rd 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

18. 18 3rd Partner meeting, 17.-19.03.2010, Berlin  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.
