Route Feasibility Agent

The customer asks on the phone whether their route can be run with an electric lorry. The answer comes three days later.

Checks range, charging infrastructure and driving times, and recommends the vehicle.

The answer to a route question is pieced together from three separate reference sources.

Dispatch looks up the range in the data sheet, searches a second directory for charge points along the route and puts the driving and rest times alongside. If one factor does not fit, the charging stop moves and the calculation starts again. By the time everything is in place, the customer has long since hung up.

420kilometresThe requested route runs from the plant to the transhipment point and back.
3check parametersRange, charging infrastructure and driving time all have to fit at once.
2usable charge pointsOf seven sites in the corridor, only two have suitable charging power.
3 daysuntil the replyThat time covers coordination with route planning and a second attempt.

When range, charging infrastructure and driving time are checked in a single pass, the initial consultation takes 50% less time.

The 50% faster initial consultation is this agent's headline figure. The three days until the reply reflect a typical exchange between sales and route planning; they were not measured.

Three steps through the process.

The agent works out whether range, charge points along the route and the driving time window fit together for this route; dispatch decides on the vehicle and the charging stop.

Check the route against the range

The agent takes the length, topography and payload of the requested route and compares them with the range of the vehicle variants. Each variant gets a remaining range at the destination.

Route T-3308 over 420 km, remaining range per variant between 40 and 130 km

Match charge points along the route

The agent checks the charging sites in the corridor for charging power and access for articulated lorries. Sites without suitable power drop out, with the reason given.

7 sites in the corridor, 2 with 300 kW and sufficient clearance height

Enter the recommendation in the enquiry case

The agent writes the vehicle recommendation, charging stop and driving time window, with the values used, into the case. Dispatch can see what the recommendation is based on.

Feasibility note for T-3308, charging stop at km 236, driving time window 4:30 h

What the agent does not do.

It does not approve the route.

It presents the recommendation and the check values. Dispatch decides whether the route runs and with which vehicle.

It does not predict whether a charge point will be free on the day.

It checks the charging power and accessibility of the sites in the corridor. Route planning checks availability on the day with the operator.

It does not know about a closure that was only reported by phone.

It works from the road network and charging sites in the connected data. Once route planning enters the closure, it recalculates the route.

The questions that come up before the first meeting.

How quickly is the Route Feasibility Agent ready to use?

A pilot typically runs on your own data within 4 to 6 weeks. The agent connects to your existing systems rather than running as a separate, parallel environment.

Where is the data processed?

EU cloud or private cloud. Processing is GDPR-compliant and models are never trained on your data. Details in the Trust Center.

Where does the figure “50% faster initial consultation” come from?

It is based on experience from comparable projects and process benchmarks, not a commitment. We work out the realistic effect for your organisation during the assessment before the pilot.
