Facing the Time Challenge Head-On

Until this latest update, a challenge persisted: the polyline endpoint didn’t support time-based tolls. Instead, it rigidly latched onto the departure time to predict tolls along the entire route.

Revolutionizing With Time-Aware Polylines

Our customers can now receive accurate tolls for time-based toll facilities by specifying timestamps at multiple junctures along the route. We call this: Time-Aware Polylines.

{
“mapProvider”: “osm”,
“path”: “32.77945,-96.77997|32.77995,-96.78056|….”,
“locTimes”: [[ 0,"1689049610"], [48,"1689050100"], ....]
}
