Truck Routing
Build hassle-free, scalable truck routing.
Simplify fleet management, logistics management, and delivery at scale with efficient truck routing API, fully customizable to suit your organization’s needs.
Logistics, the way it should be.
Azure Maps’ truck routing services simplify complex urban routing challenges, accounting for varied terrain and vehicle conditions.
Traffic Data
Keep your fleet on schedule, all the time with reliable location intelligence, including data on road closures, speed limits, and temporary construction work.
Legal Restrictions
Azure Maps accounts for local restrictions depending on the location of your fleet, including limitations on hazardous materials, weight restrictions, and more.
360° Routing
Never miss another detail with Azure Maps, from strong crosswinds to road gradients and toll charges.
Endless Customization
The Azure Maps truck routing service allows developers to build fully-customized truck routing apps that account for multiple kinds of key limitations such as bridge height, weight limits, tunnel cargo rules, and more.
Faster Routing
Every truck turns and handles differently. Create unique optimized routes for your fleet, getting them to their destination faster with a truly intelligent truck routing API.
Route Range for Trucks
Support for the route range service means that developers can easily calculate and visualize an isochrone, showing them the exact distance a truck can travel based on fuel, energy, time, and budget.
Avoid Restrictions
Build truck routing that saves your fleet the hassle of recalculating routes during transit. Use the “avoid” tag to:
- Avoid ferries.
- Avoid toll roads.
- Avoid crossing country borders.
- Avoid unpaved roads.
- Avoid routes requiring HOV lane use.
Batch Geocoding
Simplify truck routing, fleet management, and delivery planning with batch geocoding, a service that allows users to convert hundreds of addresses into geographic coordinates (and vice-versa) with a single request.
Azure Maps Routing Services
From simple A to B routing for a single agent to complex matrices for hundreds of vehicles, Azure Maps simplifies every aspect of routing for individuals and organizations. This service streamlines routing for large fleets while staying customizable.
