Truck Routing API
Bing Maps’ Truck Routing API tailors routes to your fleet’s needs, avoiding delays, reroutes, and obstructions. Fleet managers can automate processes and create efficient routes using this sophisticated API. Additionally, fleet tracking and multi-route planning help logistics providers reduce costs by avoiding closed and congested roadways.
Why Bing Maps Truck Routing API?
Optimised routing for commercial vehicles.
Built for professional transportation routing logistics, the Bing Maps Truck Routing API calculates safe and efficient routes that consider a vehicle’s attributes in relation to any route limitations.
It also uses predictive traffic to determine the best day and time for deliveries, especially for areas that tend to be more congested. The routes include information such as route instructions, travel duration, and travel distance.

Road Restrictions: Maximum bridge/underpass weight or height
Legal Restrictions: Hazardous materials, waterways, tunnels, and more
Traffic Conditions: Speed limit, construction, lane closures
