Google OR-tools with here.com integration for Middle East region


I am looking at using Google OR for our route optimization tool targeted at the Middle East. I am planning to use here.com as the distance matrix input and want to understand if the OR tool will recognize the additional information received from here.com (such as open/closed roads, closed / temporarily prohibited points of passage) to build routes - can you please let us know? Thanks


Solution

  • As said by Sascha, the routing library is completely agnostic of the source of the distance matrix. Getting the data must be done before calling the solver.

    We do provide a code sample to access the Google Maps distance API. But nothing is integrated within the routing library itself.
