DI Optimize launches the new road editor and updates on the data plugin

We are pleased to inform you that we will launch our new road editor this week. On Friday, March 21st, you will have the opportunity to join our demo. We will release a new version of the optimize plugin, version 1.5.0, this week and there will be more information on how you can get access to the road editor on Friday.

During the demo, we will give you an overview of how the road editor is set up for you and your company. We will also demonstrate basic functionality, such as adding and editing roads and different types of points.

The new road editor for DI Optimize is a web application that allows you to edit roads in a customer-specific map, giving you full control within your organization. This customized map is then used when working with your data in DI Optimize within QGIS.

In the road editor, you can:

• Add or edit lines such as roads and paths.

• Modify attributes like type, speed limits, allowed vehicles, and other road and path features.

• Add points such as boom barriers, building entrances/exits, and more.

Using the road editor enables you to create a customized map tailored to your needs, bringing you as close as possible to real-world route travel. When combined with DI Optimize and QGIS, this results in better route planning and more accurate route measurements.

If you can't join the demo please contact us for more information about access and usage.

We have also made upgrades to the DI Data plugin, and you can now upgrade to version 1.2.0. Here’s what’s new:

• When importing your pending routes, you will find the module layer in the layer panel. Expanding it will reveal the route names, allowing you to see the different route names in the imported data. We have also added the distribution to the route name, so you can identify whether it's M1-6, M7, etc. If you have routes with more than one distribution, both will now be displayed in the layer panel, with the route name followed by the distribution.

• In the route layer, we have added the description from DI Main for easier recognition of routes.

• In the address layer, we have added the keychain position. This position will be found in the keychain column, using the following format:

  route name_keychain nr_position

  This allows you to see and use the keychain position when considering new routes.

• The address layer now also contains the building type. This parameter may be useful when calculating route measurements.
