Functions of PTV Map&Guide

Truck-optimised routing

PTV Map&Guide offers various vehicle profiles for routing and considers a large number of truck restrictions, including vehicle characteristics (e.g. height, width, axle load), dangerous goods data, toll roads, truck-free zones, traffic information and permanent construction sites, as well as driving and rest times.

Sequence and time window optimisation

The routing software determines the optimal sequence of your stops, taking into account time windows at the loading bay, opening hours and individual time windows.

Transport cost calculation

The software provides a clear and reliable overview of all transport costs incurred (costs for vehicle, route and vehicle-dependent toll), which you can then detail in your offer.

Toll cost calculation

During route planning, the integrated toll calculator automatically takes into account current tariffs in all toll roads, bridges, tunnels and ferries - and sums the expected toll costs.

Calculation of arrival time (ETA)

The route planning software PTV Map&Guide calculates the expected arrival time (Estimated Time of Arrival) based on historical values as well as information on construction sites and road closures. It updates the forecast during the journey, based on the current traffic situation.

Billing standard "PTV Map&Guide Kilometer"

The "PTV Map&Guide Kilometer" has established itself as a billing standard for road freight transport in Europe. Calculations, quotations, and invoices based on this are widely accepted and are comparable.
