Whenever data exists, route calculation takes into account statistical traffic data
for the given day of week and time of day.
Your software automatically recalculates the route if you deviate from the
proposed itinerary.
For further information about Route settings, see page 106.
5.1.5 Green routing
Route calculation is not only about finding the quickest or shortest route. For some
of the vehicle types, you can also check the fuel consumption and CO
2
emission
when planning a route, and you can create cost effective routes with less effect on
the environment.
In Route settings, you can edit the parameters of the selected vehicle. Enter the
fuel consumption values and the price of the fuel. You can also select whether
you want to see the difference between your route and the green route even if the
selected routing method is not Green.
After the above parameters are set, select
as route planning method
to get a fast but also fuel efficient route. Note that travel cost and CO
2
emission
calculations are estimations only. They cannot take elevations, turns, curves
and traffic conditions into account. Also, this routing is not meant to give you the
“greenest” route of all. It is still important to travel quickly so the result is a fast
route with low fuel consumption and CO
2
emission.
With a vehicle type where green routing is selectable, whichever route planning
method is selected, the Green details are also shown when you confirm the route:
