Functional and behavioral changes

Ticket Number	Description
RTGS-4876	Improvements to travel time estimations for commercial vehicles in United Kingdom, Italy, Luxembourg, and Australia.

2026-01-30

Ticket Number	Description
RTGS-4157	Improved handling of time-dependent restrictions.

2026-01-16

Ticket Number	Description
RTGS-4928	Improvements related to handling of dirt roads in truck routes.

2025-12-02

Ticket Number	Description
RTGS-4777	Improved U-turn handling in truck routing mode

2025-04-01

Ticket Number	Description
ROUTING-27040	Matrix Routing is using a new service-protection mechanism. Spikes of requests that would potentially overload the system for all users will now be deprioritized while the system increases capacity. In extreme cases, such spikes will result in http status code 429 for sync requests, indicating that requests should be tried again later, after capacity has been increased. Alternatively, such large spikes can also be sent in asynchronous mode, which is much less likely to hit timeouts.

Ticket Number	Description
ROUTING-27040	Maximum number of matched waypoints on a single segment is limited to 100 and this includes waypoints from both origins and destinations.

Ticket Number	Description
ROUTING-25149	Route calculation now prefers RIMP road network when transporting hazardous materials in Spain

2024-04-24

Ticket Number	Description
ROUTING-25009	We have improved travel time estimations for trucks. Comparison to real-life travel times indicates significantly increased ETA prediction accuracy, with the biggest improvement expected for heavy trucks in The United States of America.

2023-08-01

Ticket Number	Description
ROUTING-25148	Improved truck routing algorithm to use more arterial roads like highways or expressways, whenever it is possible with only a minimal increase in the driving time. This improvement mainly applies to the following scenarios: A) Driving on local city roads close to the origin / destination. Now routing prefers to enter a nearby arterial road earlier / exit it later. B) Using narrow rural roads for long-distance drives or to connect between highways. Now routing prefers to use arterial roads / stay on them instead.

Ticket Number	Description
ROUTING-24359	Car mode is updated to use traffic speeds which are not capped to the speed limit. This improves ETA quality by using traffic speeds which are more accurate.

2023-04-26

Issue ID	Description
ROUTING-23724	Priority queues for requests have been implemented. From a behavioural point of view, this means that subsequent request from an application_id that already has several requests in the queue will have less priority than requests from application_id that have fewer requests waiting for servicing.

2021-06-28

Issue ID	Description
ROUTING-20011	Flexible mode is computed with a new algorithm: This can lead to substandual processing time improvements, depending on the complexity of the request. This also brings v8 Matrix more in line with the algorithm used in the V8 Router

2021-03-19

Issue ID	Description
ROUTING-19666	Region mode is computed with a new algorithm: This can lead to substantial processing time improvements depending on the dimension of the request. Especially smaller matrices, as well as asymmetric ones benefit from this.

2021-03-10

Issue ID	Description
ROUTING-17989	Flexible Mode requests now use a new, improved algorithm. The quality of the result for each matrix element (i.e., origin/destination pair) is no longer dependent on the other matrix elements. Quality of results is generally improved.

Issue ID	Description
ROUTING-18048	Truck mode deprioritizes functional class 5 streets
