Europe Tolls (TollDetail)

Contents

Toll information for routes in Europe is available as a premium add-on feature. Europe toll information is generated by calling the Toll Detail Report through a POST request. The report provides toll information for each segment of the route as well as an overall summary of the toll information, by country.

Tolls for routes in North America are available to Premium web services customers in several Route Reports, including Mileage, Comparison and Detailed reports.

In addition to the standard reporting and routing options, this API takes into account the dimensions of both the truck and trailer to generate the most accurate toll costs. These can be set using our TruckCfg and TrailerCfg objects.

TruckCfg

Parameter	Description	Data Type	Value/Example
`LCV`	Indicates whether the truck is a multi-trailer or longer combination vehicle.	boolean	“LCV”: false
`Units`	Vehicle dimension units. 0 - English (Default) 1 - Metric	Enum	“Units”: 1
`Height`	The height of the truck in feet and inches or meters depending on `Units`. Valid range is between 5’ and 15’ in North America, or between 2 and 5 meters in Europe.	string	“Height”: 4.0
`Width`	The width of the truck in inches or meters depending on `Units`. Valid range is between 60" and 102" in North America, or between 2 and 3 meters in Europe.	string	“Width”: 2.55
`Length`	The length of a straight truck/van or combined vehicle’s trailer in feet and inches or meters depending on `Units`. You do not need to include the tractor’s length in this value for a tractor/trailer. If you have tandem trailers that don’t articulate (rigid connection) then it would be the combined length of the trailers. Valid range is between 8’ and 70’ in North America, or between 5 and 25 meters in Europe.	string	“Length”: 12.0
`Weight`	The weight of the truck in pounds or kilograms depending on `Units`. Valid range is between 1500 and 156470 lbs in North America, or between 680.39 and 60000 kgs in Europe.	string	“Weight”: 18000
`Axles`	The number of axles on the truck. Acceptable values are 2 through 14 and the default value is 5.	int	“Axles”: 2

TrailerCfg

Parameter	Description	Data Type	Value/Example
`TrailerType`	The type of trailer. 1 - None (Default) 2 - Caravan 3 - Trailer	Enum	“TypeOfTrailer”: 2
`Count`	The number of trailers and semi-trailers. Default is 0.	Int	“Count”: 1
`MaxHeight`	The maximum height of the trailer in feet and inches, or meters depending upon the units. Maximum and minimum values are 20’ and 3’ respectively.	string	“MaxHeight”: 4.0
`MaxWeight`	The maximum weight of the trailer in pounds or kilos, depending upon units. Acceptable range is 2000 kilos to 60000 kilos.	Int	“MaxWeight”: 20000
`MaxAxles`	The maximum number of axles on the trailer. Acceptable values are 1 through 8. The default value is 1.	int	“MaxAxles”: 3
`Engine`	The vehicle engine configuration.	Object	“Hybrid”: false “EmissionType”: 7, “MinPollutionVeh”: false
`Hybrid`	Indicates whether the vehicle has a hybrid engine. Default is false.	boolean	“Hybrid”: false
`EmissionType`	The emission type of the engine. 2 - Euro0 3 - EuroI 4 - EuroII 5 - EuroIII 6 - EuroIV 7 - EuroV 8 - EuroVI (Default) 9 - EuroEEV	enum	“EmissionType”: 7
`MinPollutionVeh`	Indicates whether vehicle is a minimum vehicle pollution. Default is false.	boolean	“MinPollutionVeh”: false

How to Use Truck Dimensions

Dimension	How to Use in Toll Detail Report
`Weight`	TruckConfig.Weight and TrailerConfig.MaxWeight are added together as the total vehicle weight used in calculations.
`Height`	The values of the TruckConfig.Height and TrailerConfig.MaxHeight are compared and the higher value is selected as the vehicle height used in calculations.
`Axle Count`	TruckConfig.Axles and TrailerConfig.MaxAxles are passed in as separate parameters for toll calculations. They must add up to the total number of axles on the vehicle. These values are not used in the routing.

Notes on Europe Tolls

Vehicle Types

Toll results are validated for trucks with a weight greater than 3.5 tons only.

Vignettes

The result for vignette-style toll systems will show the price of a one-day tariff as default, with a rate specific to a country and vehicle setup. The vignette price is supported in the toll cost per country result, but not added to the total. This is done in order to not interfere with already existing vignettes for the vehicle making the trip. For example, if there is a valid one-year vignette already assigned to a vehicle, it would not be ideal to add the cost of a one-day vignette to the total by default.

The Eurovignette is valid in Luxembourg, Netherlands, Denmark and Sweden. The cost of a one-day Eurovignette is displayed for each country, even if a truck is traveling more than one of these countries within the valid time frame of the vignette.

Discounts

Discounts are not currently supported. Discounts might be granted by toll providers, resulting in a reduced toll price—for example, by paying with a specific payment type like a credit card or for return journeys using the same structure within a limited time frame.

Time-based Tolls

For time-based tolls to work correctly, departure time must be entered. In case it is not, the highest toll for the given vehicle profile will be returned.

For countries with time-based tolls, the different tariffs will switch exactly as scheduled. This is consistent with the tolling schemes in reality, but technical circumstances might cause minor differences between the calculated toll cost and the actual toll cost. For example, when switching from the day tariff to the night rate at 10 p.m. in Austria, our calculation will do so at that moment. In reality, the onboard-unit of the truck will also switch tariffs, but only after passing one of the automated control points, which are being passed every few kilometers.

Ferries

Ferry costs are not included.
