Enterprise routing
Routing in logistics is never just "find the shortest path". Transportial's routing engine accounts for truck dimensions, hazmat restrictions, ferry crossings, maritime lanes, and air freight bookings, so the route you generate is the one your vehicle can actually travel.
Road
- GraphHopper with truck model: Road routing is powered by GraphHopper using a custom truck model that accounts for vehicle height, weight, axle load, tunnel restrictions, and hazmat classifications.
- Avoid restrictions automatically: Routes avoid roads with weight or height restrictions that the assigned vehicle cannot clear, automatically, without any manual intervention.
- Real-time data integration: Connect to live traffic and road condition data to dynamically adjust ETAs and reroute when necessary.
Maritime
- MARNET sea route calculation: Maritime shipments are routed using the MARNET global maritime network, calculating realistic sea-lane distances and transit times.
- Port-to-port planning: Build multi-leg transport orders that combine road legs to and from ports with a sea crossing, all within a single transport order.
Air & Rail
- Air freight booking management: Create and manage air freight bookings as legs within a multi-modal transport order, with flight details, AWB references, and status tracking.
- Rail freight: Book and track rail freight legs with wagon numbers, departure/arrival terminals, and carrier references, all connected to the parent transport order.
Enterprise Routing with PTV
- PTV xRoute/xTour integration: For operations that need the most advanced routing and tour planning capabilities, Transportial integrates with PTV xRoute and xTour.
- Advanced optimisation: PTV enables complex constraints including multi-day tours, loading equipment, driver skill matching, and tight time-window scenarios.
How it works
Start from the vehicle
Routes are calculated for the actual vehicle: height, weight, axle load and hazmat class determine which roads, tunnels and bridges are usable at all.
Calculate the route
The routing engine returns the drivable route with distance, driving time and ETAs per stop — not the car route with truck problems left as a surprise.
See the full cost
Toll, distance cost, working time and energy are itemised per route, so the cheapest route and the shortest route can be told apart before committing.
Add other modes
For multimodal shipments, combine road legs with sea crossings routed over the MARNET maritime network, or air and rail legs with their own references — all within one transport order.
Adjust visually
Edit routes on the map: add stops, reorder them, and see distance, time and cost update. For advanced tour planning, Transportial integrates with PTV xRoute and xTour.
Technical details
The routing engine runs as a dedicated backend mode. Road routing uses GraphHopper's OpenStreetMap-based graph. Maritime routing uses the MARNET dataset. PTV calls are made via its REST API.
Frequently asked questions
Does routing account for truck restrictions?
Yes. Routes are calculated with a truck profile covering height, weight, axle load, tunnel and hazmat restrictions. Roads the assigned vehicle cannot legally or physically use are excluded from the calculation itself.
Are toll costs calculated?
Yes. Toll is itemised per route alongside distance, working time and energy costs, so route alternatives can be compared on total cost rather than kilometres alone.
Can Transportial plan sea, air or rail legs?
Yes. Maritime legs are routed over the MARNET global maritime network, and air and rail legs are managed with their own references — all as legs of a single transport order, tracked end to end.
What routing engines does Transportial use?
Road routing runs on GraphHopper with a custom truck model over OpenStreetMap data. For operations needing advanced tour planning, Transportial integrates with PTV xRoute and xTour as an enterprise option.
Is CO₂ calculated per route?
Yes. CO₂ emissions are calculated from the route and vehicle data and recorded per trip, feeding customer reporting and CSRD/ESG compliance without separate tooling.
