Vehicle Type

This screen is used to create new or edit existing Vehicle Types used in the Route Planning

Open

• Code

  • A unique code for the Vehicle.

• Description

  • A description of the Vehicle.

• Vehicle Profile

  • This is required so that the Automated Routing can properly allocate a load to the Transport Item. 

  • The available options are:

    • Truck

    • Bicycle

    • Car

    • Pedestrian

• Driving Period Factor

  • This is how much longer than the standard time this Vehicle Type takes drive.

    • If left empty or shows zero then it is considered to be the normal driving time.

    • If it's 2 then it's double the standard time.

    • If it's 4 then it quadruples the standard time.

    • etc.

  • For example:

    • If you are towing a trailer and this reduces the max speed from 70mph to 60mph, the Driving Factor would be something like 1.142

• Service Codes

  • Select any that have been set up on the Add\Edit Service Codes screen that can be used by Automated Routing to determine whether this Vehicle Type can be used for drops that have matching Service Codes against them.
