Predict a vehicle’s approach or exit from a site

The Routing Predictions feature allows you to view how a route might approach and exit a Site. Approaches and exits are displayed from eight different directions and can be modified based on setting a distance (up to 10 miles) from a Site, a Vehicle Routing Profile, and a specific Gate.

If the Gate has an entry or exit path, it will be used as the preferred route path to enter or exit the Site. However, the algorithm may determine there is a much better and more cost-effective route to a gate that does not follow the gate path. Additionally, Route Modifiers (avoids and favors) are not considered in routing predictions.
