Distance engines – i2 Distance from Blue Yonder Software Group, Inc.

Transportation Manager supports the i2 Distance Engine. i2 Distance is a node based distance engine which will sacrifice accuracy to improve performance. The i2 Distance data can be created from custom data, or can be based on PC*Miler data with a valid PC*Miler license.

Note: The i2 Distance engine does not support bidirectional distance/transit time, Country Breakdown, Real-time traffic influenced transit times, or Historic traffic influenced transit times.

Route Types

The following Route Types (Parameter Name I2RouteType) are supported for TM / i2 Distance integration:

Practical

Options

The following options are supported for TM / i2 Distance integration:

Option (Parameter Name)	Values	Details
DistancePreferLatLonMatches	T/F
ComputeEstimateAfterFailure	T/F	Default True. This parameter will determine how to handle the situation where the distance engine fails to compute a distance/transit time for any reason, including the case where the distance engine is not available. If True, an approximate distance and time will be computed based on the difference in latitude/longitude between the two locations; if False, the distance/transit time retrieval request will fail.
