Navigating hazardous material route requirements demands precision routing that accounts for building restrictions, regulatory compliance, and cargo-specific constraints. NextBillion.ai's truck-aware routing engine automatically factors in hazmat classifications, building proximity rules, and municipal restrictions—so your fleet avoids costly violations, ensures community safety, and keeps every delivery audit-ready from origin to destination.
End-to-end routing tools designed to keep hazmat shipments compliant, auditable, and safe near buildings and restricted zones.
Vehicle-specific turn-by-turn navigation that accounts for hazardous cargo type, vehicle dimensions, and building proximity restrictions—automatically routing trucks away from prohibited zones and low-clearance structures.
Apply no-entry zones, road closures, and building-proximity rules directly to your routing engine via the Road Editor App, ensuring every hazmat route reflects your real operational and regulatory environment.
Reconstruct and archive complete, road-snapped hazmat trip records with timestamps and segment data—providing legally defensible route history for regulatory audits and incident investigations.
Calculate compliant travel times and distances between large sets of origins and destinations with truck-specific routing rules enforced, supporting pre-trip planning for hazmat fleets of any scale.
Monitor hazmat vehicles in real time, receive instant alerts when drivers deviate from approved routes near buildings, and maintain continuous chain-of-custody visibility from dispatch to delivery.
Generate multi-stop hazmat routes with 50+ hard and soft constraints including cargo class, building setback rules, time-of-day restrictions, and vehicle weight limits—dispatched automatically in seconds.
Hazardous material transport near buildings requires more than a standard GPS route—it demands awareness of building setback regulations, tunnel and bridge restrictions, vehicle cargo classifications, and municipal no-go zones. NextBillion.ai's routing engine encodes these constraints at the road-segment level, automatically generating compliant routes that reflect local building codes and hazmat ordinances. Whether operating through dense urban corridors or near industrial complexes, every route is calculated to protect people, property, and your compliance record.

We combine deep logistics engineering with flexible, regulation-aware routing infrastructure to solve the compliance challenges hazmat operators face every day.
Vehicle dimension and cargo-type constraints—height, weight, axle load, hazmat class—are enforced in every route calculation, eliminating guesswork near restricted buildings and bridges.
Inject building setback zones, municipal hazmat restrictions, and time-of-day no-entry rules directly into the routing engine via our no-code Road Editor App—no engineering required.
Every hazmat trip is reconstructed into a verifiable, road-snapped record with timestamps and segment data—ready for regulatory audits, incident investigations, and insurance claims.
Per-vehicle and per-order pricing means seasonal hazmat demand spikes and re-optimization cycles never translate into surprise budget overruns, unlike per-API-call models.

Gaurav drives product innovation at NextBillion.ai, bringing deep expertise in building location-intelligence products from the ground up. His career spans ride-hailing, food delivery, and logistics at globally recognized companies including Grab, Ola, and Morgan Stanley—giving him firsthand insight into the compliance and operational complexity that large-scale logistics operators face daily. At NextBillion.ai, Gaurav leads the product vision for routing infrastructure that handles real-world constraints like hazardous material routing rules, vehicle-specific restrictions, and regulatory compliance requirements—ensuring that the platform solves the actual challenges logistics businesses encounter on the road, not sanitized versions of them. His work has contributed to more than 10.9 million optimized deliveries and tasks across 150+ global businesses.
Co-Founder
Ajay Bulusu co-founded NextBillion.ai in 2020 alongside Gaurav Bubna and Shaolin Zheng, following years of collaboration on Grab's Geo team where the trio experienced firsthand the limitations of existing location technology for complex logistics operations. Ajay's vision for a more accessible, customizable, and regulation-aware routing platform drives NextBillion.ai's mission to democratize sophisticated location intelligence. Under his leadership, the company has raised $34.25M in venture capital, delivered $11M+ in cost savings to customers, and in 2025 joined Velocitor Solutions to accelerate the buildout of a unified intelligent operations ecosystem for enterprises managing hazmat and complex fleet requirements worldwide.
Co-Founder
Shaolin Zheng is a co-founder of NextBillion.ai and a core architect of the platform's technical foundation. His background in geospatial technology and large-scale routing systems, developed during his time on Grab's Geo team, informs the engineering precision behind NextBillion.ai's compliance-aware routing capabilities—including hazardous material route enforcement, truck-specific road restrictions, and custom map attribute injection. Shaolin's technical leadership ensures the platform delivers sub-second routing responses at enterprise scale, supports on-premise deployment for data-sensitive logistics operators, and maintains the 99.9% uptime SLA that mission-critical hazmat operations require. His work underpins the routing intelligence used by 150+ businesses across global transportation and logistics markets.
Certain high-hazard materials—including explosives (Division 1.1, 1.2, 1.3), radioactive materials (highway route controlled quantities), and select poison-by-inhalation substances—require a written route plan under federal regulations such as 49 CFR Part 397. These plans must specify pre-approved routes, avoid populated areas and tunnels where required, and be retained for regulatory inspection. NextBillion.ai's routing engine can enforce these pre-approved corridors automatically.
