HERE Tracking

Version 1.6.0

 

• We added support for Journeys. Users can create and track shipments, and perform delay analysis over the
• logistics paths.
• We added support for multiple webhook notification URLs. Users can now subscribe to receive only certain
• types of notifications to a URL.
• We added support for indoor geofencing. It enables to create indoor geofences with floor definition
• Geofence related events are now available through the event log.

Fleet Telematics API

Version 3.0.27

 

New features:

• Router meets the waypoint on the correct side of the street
  • If the heading is provided in a waypoint, routing tries to stop on the link into this driving direction. This avoids that goods or passengers must cross a busy street. However, if it would take a big detour the router will not stop on the desired side. Both the search radius and the penalty can be customized.
• Router can avoid or prefer certain links
  • Custom routing can now consider user specific penalties or bonus for road links. If certain streets are cumbersome or well suited for certain vehicle types of a fleet, a custom road overlay can define individual penalties or bonus for using these streets.
• Add your own turn restrictions for routing
  • Customers can avoid that their trucks get stuck at certain dangerous intersection turns.
• Customizable penalty to avoid U-turns
  • Users can specify a penalty for U-turns on the route.
• Add your own EV Charging stations for Routing with EV charging along the route
  • In addition to the HERE EV charging locations, routing can use custom layers (uploaded via Custom Locations service)
• Define your own restriction types (virtual traffic signs), like on this link only our at least 50kph enabled class 3+ cars are allowed
  • Each custom link restriction has a vector of maximum values, the car in the routing request has a vector of values, which must fit within the link's values.
  • Use cases: special vehicle classes, special permissions required, special vehicle properties like ground clearance, special road restrictions
• Limit extended: The Corridor Search radius limit is raised from 2000m to 5000m.

Map Data for Mobile SDK
