NextBillion.ai and GeoJunxion Launch World’s First LEZ-Focused
Routing APIs
Capelle aan den IJssel, the Netherlands, 21 June
2022 – Location and mapping technology has always and
will continue to play an important role in solving the biggest
environmental problems that we are facing today. Addressing climate
challenges in this location-first world that thrives on movement —
be it people, goods or resources — calls for innovative geospatial
solutions.
The partnership between NextBillion.ai, an industry-leading
spatial data + AI platform and GeoJunxion (GOJXN.AS), the leading
Low Emission Zones and Restricted Traffic Areas data provider is
proof of that. This strategic cooperation will help to improve the
effectiveness of the Low Emission Zone (LEZ) — an initiative
that is designed to protect the environment.
First routing platform designed for LEZAt
present, delivery companies pay hundreds of thousands of euros per
year in penalties and fees for delivering goods in or driving
non-conforming vehicles through LEZ.
Through this collaboration, the two location-tech companies will
deliver the first logistics optimization and routing platform
tailored to the European Low Emission Zones.
Logistics software developers will get access to
first-of-its-kind routing and optimization APIs that account for
the rules and regulations governing the low emission zone
boundaries across Europe.
With the NextBillion.ai + GeoJunxion solution, deliveries within
an LEZ are allocated to LEZ-compliant vehicles only. And
non-low-emission vehicles are routed around, rather than through
these areas to dodge hefty penalties.
Alleviating the logistics and delivery industry’s pain
points For this LEZ-focused routing and optimization
APIs, NextBillion.ai is providing both the optimizer to assign
adequate orders to vehicles that meet the LEZ emissions standard
and the Road Editor tool to prevent vehicles that fail to meet the
standard from entering the zone.
With the release of this mapping solution, NextBillion.ai
continues to expand its capabilities and address the unique needs
of the logistics and delivery industry.
The mapping, routing and optimization platform can
efficiently:
- Generate custom geocodes for pinpointing the exact delivery
location
- Incorporate temporary or permanent road/area restrictions where
deliveries cannot be made throughout the day
- Leverage historical speed profiles in large distance
matrixes
- Provide real-time traffic-aware ETAs that keep drivers,
dispatchers and customers informed about the precise delivery
times
- Provide reliable and scalable truck routing
NextBillion.ai’s Navigation SDK and app utilize these custom
features to provide turn-by-turn guidance to drivers.
“As a young company in the geospatial data space, we are excited
about collaborating with GeoJunxion, which has been around for
nearly four decades in the mapping industry. We look forward to
developing more sustainable and green mapping solutions powered by
their location-aware content and customized location intelligence,”
said Ajay Bulusu, co-founder of NextBillion.ai.
Building sustainable applications for a better
worldThe LEZ-centered routing solution will be the newest
addition to GeoJunxion’s expansive portfolio of
environmentally-conscious applications.
GeoJunxion’s API with up-to-date European LEZ geometries and a
rich set of relevant attributes is powering this solution.
For this project, GeoJunxion is using its existing database of
over 2,500 Low Emission Zones and Restricted Traffic Areas. It
contains information about all the areas in cities with:
- Low Emission Zones (LEZ)
- Ultra-Low Emission Zones (ULEZ)
- Clean Air Zones (CAZ)
- Limited Traffic Zones (ZTL)
- Zero Emission Zones (ZEZ)
- Congestion zones
- Environmental zones
The rules, fees, restrictions and fines associated with these
areas vary hugely from country to country. GeoJunxion’s database
currently includes 2,500+ zones around the world. Most of the zones
are located in Europe, where new zones are created on a regular
basis.
Ivo Vleeschouwers, GeoJunxion’s CEO/CFO stated: “Traveling
nowadays, either on a personal or professional level, is
continuously influenced by an ever-increasing number of restricted
zones. This proof-of-concept with NextBillion.ai shows the value of
implementing Low Emission Zones in the logistics and delivery
industry solution. By combining the NextBillion.ai platform with
the specific environmental rules and restrictions, we created the
first logistics optimization and routing platform tailored to the
European Low Emission Zones and other Restricted Traffic
Areas.”
Optimizing cost and emissionsThis partnership
will
enable NextBillion.ai and GeoJunxion’s customers
to efficiently plan routes and deliveries in LEZ-regulated areas —
a capability that existing mapping providers don’t support/offer
presently.
The exclusive solution will help businesses to boost efficiency,
reduce costs and maximize ETA accuracy.
Nextbillion and Geojunxion invite interested parties to view a
demo of the solution online or in person at Home Delivery World
taking place in Amsterdam from June 22-23. More info:
