Online Routing API

Seamless vehicle integration with Online Routing API

To seamlessly integrate a new vehicle with Long Distance EV Routing, OEMs provide only essential static vehicle information during registration, not detailed consumption parameters. TomTom derives initial consumption parameters based on the provided static vehicle specifications. TomTom automatically generates accurate, data-driven and fleet-specific consumption models.

Each vehicle variant receives a unique identifier that can be used in LDEV route planning.

Vehicle registration is a foundational step that enables future innovations in energy consumption prediction and optimization.

Electric Vehicle Registration

Using newly registered vehicles in the Online Routing API

After successful vehicle registration, the variant ID can be used to request a route planning with the Long Distance EV Routing API. This allows for accurate route planning that takes into account the specific characteristics of the registered vehicle variant. The vehicle variant ID needs to be provided as the vehicleModelId parameter in the request to the Long Distance EV Routing API.

A few vehicle parameters change over a vehicle’s lifetime, including maximum charge, auxiliary power, maximum speed, and weight. You can supply them in the same request alongside vehicleModelId, where they override the values derived during registration. The registered variant determines all other consumption and charging parameters. For the full list of parameters you can combine with vehicleModelId, see the Long Distance EV Routing API reference.
