Frequently Asked Questions

NHVR-aware routing helps fleets plan heavy vehicle journeys using Australia’s National Heavy Vehicle Regulator (NHVR) network information, vehicle characteristics and configured road restrictions. NextBillion.ai brings this context into route calculations, ETAs and dispatch planning.
The NHVR administers the Heavy Vehicle National Law in Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia, Tasmania and the Australian Capital Territory. Western Australia and the Northern Territory have separate arrangements, while New Zealand operates under its own regulatory framework.

A route suitable for a car may be unsuitable for a B-double or road train. NHVR-aware routing considers vehicle-class network preferences, truck dimensions, weight and relevant restrictions, helping planners avoid building schedules around roads the assigned vehicle cannot use.

NextBillion.ai supports NHVR network preferences for rigid trucks, semi-trailers, B-doubles and road-train combinations. Vehicle type should be configured alongside actual dimensions, loaded weight and access requirements, because a road suitable for one configuration may be restricted for another. For more information, you can connect with our tech experts.

The National Network Map helps operators identify heavy vehicle networks, access conditions and where approval may be required. NextBillion.ai brings access information into route calculations, ETA estimates and fleet dispatch through APIs, helping teams connect access checks with their operational planning.

Yes. You can provide vehicle dimensions and total loaded weight so the routing engine can apply corresponding road restrictions. This helps avoid unsuitable roads, including low-clearance sections and weight-restricted links, based on the restriction data available in the routing network. You can also go through the docs here.

Yes. Permit route geometry can be imported as GeoJSON and incorporated into your routing network. NHVR documents GeoPackage for network downloads and KML or GPX for saved routes, so conversion may be needed before import. Your configuration should also reflect the permit’s vehicle conditions, validity and travel restrictions.

Yes. NextBillion.ai’s Road Editor lets you incorporate your own networks, permit segments and restrictions into route calculations. Settings can be applied to specific roads or areas, with vehicle and time conditions where supported, so operational requirements influence routing rather than appearing only as map overlays.

Yes. Route verification shows what share of a route lies on the NHVR network and which vehicle classes each network segment allows. This helps planners identify sections that need closer access or permit review before releasing the route to a driver.

ETAs can be calculated using truck routing parameters and configured permit restrictions, helping planners account for journeys that differ from standard car routes. This provides a more relevant basis for delivery windows, dispatch schedules and customer arrival estimates.

Yes. NHVR-aware routing can be combined with NextBillion.ai’s Route Optimization API for multi-stop, multi-vehicle dispatch planning. The API supports 500+ constraints, including delivery windows, vehicle capacities, driver schedules and allowed or restricted zones, helping teams consider access requirements alongside operational priorities.

Yes. NextBillion.ai supports all nine UN dangerous goods classes in routing and optimization. Specifying the cargo classification allows the routing engine to account for corresponding road restrictions, helping teams plan journeys for fuel, chemicals and other dangerous goods using the available restriction data.

Yes. Driving-hour and rest-break limits can be configured to reflect the requirements applicable to your drivers and operations. Including these limits in route planning helps teams build schedules around available driving time, required breaks and delivery commitments.

No. It supports planning by applying network preferences, vehicle restrictions and configured permit information. Operators still need any required access approvals and must follow applicable permit and notice conditions. Network preferences guide route selection; they do not independently establish legal access for every road segment.

Yes. NextBillion.ai’s APIs can be integrated into TMS platforms, dispatch systems and driver applications. Your team can request routes and ETAs within existing planning workflows and pass the resulting routes into the driver experience, reducing the need to transfer information between separate tools. You can watch all the integrations here.

Yes. You can evaluate the APIs using representative vehicle profiles, delivery locations, permit routes and operational constraints. Compare the results with your existing plans to assess route suitability, ETAs and integration requirements. Request a demo to discuss testing with your own data.

Yes. NextBillion.ai can update map and routing data based on your truck type and operational requirements. Share your vehicle’s dimensions, weight, configuration, operating regions, and relevant NHVR network or permit information with our team so we can assess the required updates and configure routing for your use case.
