All three daily situations

Starting on Day 2, an advertised traffic rule can shape your day, and the preview will appear before you select the map, so you can tailor your vehicle type, tours and strategy.

In this article

A situation for the coming day

The daily situation is a previously known rule, not a random decision-making dialogue.

After the result of the day, the situation of the next day is shown, after which the map selection opens, so that you can direct the next improvement to a lock or a slower type of area.

The active catalogue has three situations, all from day 2, one of which is chosen for the day in question. Situations may occur repeatedly on later days; another situation on the following day is not guaranteed.

The rule has a time window and, if necessary, a vehicle, area or road filter, it only affects suitable journeys, and you do not have to treat the entire day as closed if the restriction does not start until noon.

SituationStart dateAffectedEffects

Main road blocked14:00Main roads, all types of vehiclesAppropriate roads are closed.
Viscous industrial transport12:00Industrial area, all types of vehiclesTravel time surcharge by proportion of road sections affected; fully affected ×1,5.

Combustion-free city centre

Starting at 3 p.m., incinerators are no longer allowed to drive through affected roads of the commercial area.

The rule depends on the powertrain, not the size of the vehicle: standard vans, trucks and motorcycles with combustion engines are affected; electric cars are exempted from this combustion ban.

The name describes the situation, the area filter determines its range: it means the commercial area, not every street in the residential area or in the entire city.

A combustion engine that reaches its last commercial stop at 2:55 p.m. can still rely on affected roads for the following journey.

  • Complete business stops with combustion engines if possible before the ban.
  • Consider electric vehicles for late tours in the affected area.
  • Charge compatibility and capacity remain relevant for electric cars; the free time window does not replace these rules.
Are all motorcycles automatically exempt?

No. The rule checks the drive. A motorcycle with a combustion engine is affected.

Is the business area already closed from 08:00?

No. The ban starts at 3 p.m., before the usual route rules apply.

Main road blocked

From 14:00, affected main roads are closed to all vehicles.

The situation filters the class of roads, so that other roads are not automatically closed, and an electric car has no advantage because of its drive, because all types of vehicles are affected.

A route over the main road may still be allowed in the morning and require a different connection in the afternoon, so assess the time of the journey over the affected section, not just the start time of the tour.

  • Long tours with late return especially carefully watch.
  • Bundle stops that can be reached via secondary roads.
  • Let an epic route action search for a shorter order, but check its dates and permissibility before confirmation.
Can security protocol release the main road again?

No, the strategy does not abolish this daily rule.

Is this the same block as a road incident?

No. This daily rule starts announced at 2 p.m. A local incident has its own response capabilities and its own duration.

Viscous industrial transport

From 12 noon, journeys on affected roads in the industrial area need 50% more time.

The basic factor is 1.5. In the case of a fully affected tour, ten minutes of travel time without further modifiers are converted into fifteen minutes. In the case of a mixed tour, the forecast takes into account the proportion of affected road sections: for example, a quarter of affected sections gives a factor of 1.125, i.e. 12.5% more travel time.

Roads remain usable; the situation increases travel times, not the service time at the door; it affects all types of vehicles; electric drive does not prevent this delay; a tour without affected industrial sections does not receive a surcharge.

For example, in a fully affected tour, you combine 1.5 × 0.85 = 1.275 of the original journey time, which is still longer than an unmodified journey before the start of the situation.

  • Bundle industrial contracts with an early deadline before lunchtime.
  • For afternoon trips, schedule time buffers based on the updated arrival forecast.
  • Service expansion or digital handover speeds up handover, but does not remove the industry travel time factor.

Differentiate daily situation, demand and incident

Three systems can work together on the same day.

SystemWhat it determinesWhen you notice it
Daily situationTime-dependent permit or driving time on certain roads and areasAlready in the preview and in every tour planning
Daily demandWhat new orders and areas appearIn the morning overview and distribution of the fleet
IncidentA local disturbance or additional order with own decisionDuring delivery in the event dialog

A cheap card choice must take all three into account. An additional electric car can help against a combustion ban; it does not automatically protect against a breakdown; more capacity can cope with demand; it makes a closed main road unpassable.

Can the same daily situation come twice in a row?

The selection does not prevent a repetition on the following day.

Can an incident occur in addition to the announced situation?

Yes, systems are separate; a daily rule does not replace incidents.

When will I get the first preview?

After the result of day 1, before the card choice for day 2.
