Release date: July 10th, 2025
In this release:
Routing enhancements
Estimated travel time enhancements
Improvements to estimated travel time (ETT) have been made by reviewing truck ping data, resulting in an overall average increase to estimated travel times. Additional details regarding the improvements can be found here.
Improved site boundary routing
Improvements to routing near site boundaries have been made to help prevent incorrect road closures and avoidances around un-gated site boundary intersections.
The image below shows an example of the improved routing where the red line is the original route path, and the green line indicates the revised route path. In this case, a site boundary was encroaching on the highway, causing the routing algorithm to avoid the site boundary and redirect the route on an unintended path.
Sites include a boundary polygon around their perimeter and allow for the inclusion of detailed information regarding entry and exit points (gates), vehicle restrictions, accessible hours, and other important information. Improvements to the precision of these site boundaries will result in more accurate routing near site locations. You can read more about using Sites in PC*Miler here.
Revised hazmat tunnel designations
To improve safety and efficiency, hazmat tunnel designations have been updated to provide more precision and control when routing. Full details on how hazmat routing is handled in PC*Miler can be found here.
Improved routing in Kentucky
Improved weight limit routing in Kentucky to better reflect weight limit restrictions on state-maintained highways while allowing for local accessibility.
