Smart Truck Route Planning & Optimization

Long-haul trucking demands more than a standard GPS app. NextBillion.ai delivers AI-powered truck route planning that respects HGV restrictions, bridge weight limits, hazmat rules, and real-time traffic — so your fleet moves faster, stays compliant, and cuts fuel costs on every run. Discover how intelligent routing transforms your trucking operations from the ground up.

Our Truck Route Planning & Optimization Services

End-to-end routing solutions purpose-built for commercial trucking fleets — from HGV-compliant navigation to automated dispatch and live fleet tracking.

Route Optimization API

Generate dispatch-ready truck routes in seconds with 50+ hard and soft constraints — including vehicle dimensions, load capacity, time windows, and HGV road restrictions — at predictable fixed pricing.

Truck Navigation API

Deliver precise, turn-by-turn navigation tailored to commercial vehicle specifications — avoiding low-clearance bridges, weight-restricted roads, and truck-prohibited streets in real time.

Distance Matrix API

Calculate truck-accurate travel times and distances across matrices up to 5,000×5,000 — factoring in vehicle dimensions, axle load, and regulatory routing rules for reliable ETA computation.

Route Planner App

A no-code, browser-based planning tool that lets dispatchers import stop lists, apply truck constraints, visualize optimized routes on an interactive map, and push routes to drivers — no engineering required.

Live Tracking API

Monitor every truck in real time with sub-meter location accuracy. Configure alerts for speeding, idling, route deviation, and unauthorized movement — with offline tracking for low-connectivity corridors.

Road Editor App

Inject custom road rules directly into your routing engine — mark theft-prone corridors, flag no-parking zones, set safe overnight rest locations, and configure HGV restrictions by vehicle type and time of day.
