Customization Options
You can tailor the route calculation for different use cases by

- selecting a means of transportation, such as car or pedestrian
- selecting a route type such as fastest or shortest
- deciding whether to consider current traffic (including incidents and traffic flow), recurring time related restrictions (turns, high-occupancy vehicles, reversible roads), seasonal closures and speed limits, as well as short and long-term closures
- defining custom penalty parameters to determine the weighting for using specific road attributes in the route calculation, for example, toll road, motorway, boat and rail ferries
