aBout the ptV groupLeading software in the areas of digital geography, transport and traffic planning: This is the focus of the PTV Group. The company headquartered in Karlsruhe, Germany employs 650 people. It invests continuously in research and development to maintain its over 30-year track record of success. PTV‘s software is the product of extensive real-life experience, including countless consulting projects in transport planning or sales force optimisation. PTV Components distil all of PTV‘s know-how and expertise into high-quality products.

10 good reasons for

ptV components

no need for your own extensIVe deVelopmentIntegrate digital maps, address geo-coding, route calculation or logistic optimisation procedures from PTV in your application and get ahead of your competition. Save yourself costly in-house development and benefit from our more than thirty years of experience in logistics.

relIaBle standard technologyThe use of standard technologies and formats guarantees simple and reliable processing of results.

sImple IntegratIonAll PTV Components feature standard interfaces (XML / SOAP or COM). That lets them easily integrate with other systems and applications. They support the main programming languages. They also integrate completely – your current software interface does not change.Extensive documentation and code samples guide you through your first steps.

extensIVe serVIce and supportWe provide integration assistance as well as skilled, personal support throughout your entire contract.

extendaBleOnly as much application as necessary! PTV xServers are modular by design: each component handles one function. That frees you up to only choose the components you really need. Then, if you need more functions later on, you simply license the corresponding component.

scalaBIlItySoftware as a Service (SaaS) is gaining popularity in the market, especially when deployed on the basis of a service-ori-ented architecture (SOA). PTV xServers are scalable and can be used in the clus-ter. This ensures performance is guaran-teed – no matter how much your systems are growing.

long-term InVestmentWe build on long-term customer and partner relations. Continuous further developments, new ideas and close proximity to the market guarantee prod-ucts which are excellent in technology and quality.

the latest maps and dataWe work closely with leading vendors of maps and data. PTV’s own data depart-ment always guarantees the latest and most detailed maps available. Additional data such as Truck Attributes, toll data, geomarketing data and dynamic traffic flow data is also available on request.

IndIVIdual settIngsAdapt the PTV solution to your needs: The map design, fault tolerance for geocoding and the preference of certain road classes in the route calculation are just some examples from the wide range of settings that are available. edItaBle road networkYou can use the RoadEditor to block or release roads and road segments, or block or release them for certain classes of vehicles (lorries, for example). That way, you decide which roads are included in route calculations, and how to include them.

your BenefIts

ptV components4 ptV components 5

customer time limits, depot opening hours, driving times and rest periods, vehicle capacity and parameters. Optimum combination of tractors and trailers. Creation of master runs.

trackIng and tracIngDisplay of vehicle positions on the map in real-time. Reconstructing a completed route using recorded GPS points.

map matchIngValidation or correction of received GPS coordinates (tracks) based on the underlying map. The corrected data provide exact route courses as required, for example, for tolls and subcontractor invoicing, target-performance comparisons, and controlling of driving behaviour, etc.

emIssIons calculatIonEmission calculation for HBEFA 3.1 (Handbook Emission Factors for Road Transport), CEN standards (European Committee for Standardisation) and the Eco-tax for France. Inclusion of actual road mileage travelled, vehicle or emission class, load as well as other influencing factors such as the respective uphill and downhill inclines.

toll calculatIonExact calculations for distance-related tolls for many countries in Europe as well as for North America. Toll scenarios for the inclusion of increased toll charges is already announced in the planning of future routes or calculations. Possibility of avoiding toll roads in the route planning.

traffIc InformatIonDisplay current traffic information (congestion and road closures) and historical traffic information (speed profiles for specific road sections at certain times) and inclusion of this information in the route planning. radIus searchRadius search / search for next based on direct distance, travel time or road distance. Corridor search (POI search along a route. Example: “Which customers are located near the planned route?“).

geofencIngVirtual fencing of GPS-tracked object in specified areas (Geofencing) or routes (Corridor Fencing). Automatic action as soon as the virtual fence is transgressed.

geocodIngAddress geocoding down to the exact house number. Rapid geocoding of large address databases (batch geocoding). Identifying the mailing address for a geocoordinate (reverse geocoding).

mappIngRepresentation of local information such as locations, customer addresses, sales territories or routes on the map. Up-to-date worldwide map data — right down to the house numbers in many countries. Map‘s look and feel can easily be customised as desired (colours, icons, level of detail, etc.). Fast zooming and panning with the map.

routIngRoute calculation between two or more stop-off points. Fastest or shortest route. Calculation of distance, travel time, travel costs. Lorry routing that utilises Truck Attributes (e. g. weight or height restrictions, lorry blocks) as well as driving times and rest periods. Control of the route calculation based on individual blockage or release of road segments with the RoadEditor.

trIp optImIsatIonTrip planning for transportation logistics and sales forces on the basis of exact road distance or travel times. Sequence optimisation. Consideration of numerous restrictions such as
