Trying to see if there is trucking-specific API provided by ESRI in REST form?
I'm using
With all default parameters. I have 2 problems here:
1. A lot of routes is just bad. For example, route from St Louis to Houston generated by REST API will take you I-55 all the way to I12/10 and it becomes +100 miles route
2. I need info about toll roads which this service doesn't seem to provide.
Any suggestions? Maybe some specific parameters which can improve routes/mileage?
Anyone? I think I know why it's doing it, but wonder if there is any better way of doing it?
Under usage Limits:
Force hierarchy beyond a straight-line distance of 50 miles
(If the straight-line distance between any two stops is greater than the limit shown here, the analysis uses hierarchy, even if useHierarchy is set to false.)
If I understand correctly, for long routes (nationwide) it will default to major highways matrix and there is no way to fix this. But it's simply wrong, no other routing like Google/Bing doing this..
