Simplify Complex Trucking Challenges With Custom APIs
Solve unique truck routing, ETAs, scheduling, compliance, tracking and fleet management challenges with NextBillion.ai’s Distance Matrix API, without having to worry about costs.
Difference between common vehicle and truck fleet journeys
Truck and commercial freight vehicle journeys are incredibly complex in comparison to those of common vehicles.
Be it short-haul trucks delivering goods within a given region or long-haul trucks traversing highways and crossing borders, there are numerous business-critical variables that directly impact trucking operations and eventual business outcomes.
Common Vehicle Journeys
- Journeys are typically short, with only a few extending to longer distances
- Simple, linear journeys with fewer destinations and mid-journey stops
- Mostly travel on regular roads with few route restrictions and known performance characteristics
- Since journeys are short and mostly within well-known areas, exposure to risk is minimal
- Regular vehicles do not have to adhere to strict schedules and regulatory restrictions
Truck Fleet Journeys
- Truck journeys are typically longer and more complex, covering thousands of kilometers crossing borders
- Involve multiple stops that need ordering and reordering, e.g. unloading points, fuel stations, etc
- Truck routes have to comply with regulatory restrictions, and need to be optimized for vehicle type, fuel and time
- Higher risk to driver, vehicle and goods places emphasis on safety, including vehicle wear and tear
- Trucks must adhere to specific routes, departure times and other vehicle-specific parameters
NextBillion.ai’s Distance Matrix API for Trucking
Truck routing is an intricate operation that must account for a multitude of nuances that affect trip time, safety and operational costs. Truck height, weight, load, number of stops, fuel consumption are just a few of the many data points that should be integrated when evaluating truck ETAs and routes.
Available off-the-shelf APIs are not equipped to account for these trucking-specific requirements and deliver only suboptimal ETAs and routes. This directly impacts turnaround times and jeopardizes truck fleet operations.
NextBillion.ai’s Distance Matrix API focuses on solving for reliable trucking-specific ETAs. We help trucking companies customize their ETAs based on truck type (16-, 8- or 4-wheeler), weight, route preferences, no. of stops, regulatory requirements and all other related nuances. Our advanced ML algorithms combine first-party data, second-party data and live traffic to give the fastest truck-optimized route with highly accurate ETA and distance predictions.
