External Distance Matrices
Upload pre-computed distance matrices to routing.solvice.io/table/upload and reference them by ID in your VRP requests for faster processing and custom traffic patterns.
Basic Configuration
Configure different distance matrices for different times of day:
{
"jobs": [
{"name": "delivery-1", "location": {"latitude": 51.1279, "longitude": 17.0485}},
{"name": "delivery-2", "location": {"latitude": 51.1350, "longitude": 17.0600}}
],
"resources": [{
"name": "driver-1",
"category": "CAR",
"shift": {
"from": "2025-01-01T08:00:00Z",
"to": "2025-01-01T18:00:00Z"
}
}],
"customDistanceMatrices": {
"profileMatrices": {
"CAR": {
"8": "matrix-car-morning-rush", // 8 AM matrix ID
"12": "matrix-car-midday", // 12 PM matrix ID
"16": "matrix-car-evening-rush" // 4 PM matrix ID
}
}
}
}
Matrix Upload
Upload your distance matrix to get an ID:
{
"coordinates": [
[4.9, 50.2], // [longitude, latitude]
[4.8, 50.4]
],
"durations": [
[0, 1976.1],
[2010.2, 0]
],
"vehicleType": "CAR",
"departureTime": "2025-01-01T08:00:00"
}
Then reference the returned matrix ID:
{
"customDistanceMatrices": {
"profileMatrices": {
"CAR": {
"8": "matrix-id-from-upload-response"
}
}
}
}
Multi-Vehicle Configuration
Different vehicle types can use different routing matrices:
{
"customDistanceMatrices": {
"profileMatrices": {
"CAR": {
"6": "car-early-commute",
"9": "car-midday-traffic",
"16": "car-evening-rush"
},
"TRUCK": {
"6": "truck-early-delivery",
"12": "truck-midday-routes"
}
}
}
}
