You can now generate route tokens using the Route Optimization API. Pass a route token to the Navigation SDK to guide how it routes your vehicle. For details, see Transition Polylines and Route Tokens.

Fixed an issue where duplicate GcsSource uris (which represent input files for the optimization requests) were accepted in BatchOptimizeToursRequest AsyncModelConfigs for the BatchOptimizeTours API. Now GcsSource uris must be unique across all BatchOptimizeToursRequest AsyncModelConfigs in a single BatchOptimizeTours API call. This is desirable behavior to avoid processing the same request twice in case of accidental input duplication.

Fixed an issue where duplicate GcsDestination uris (which represent output files for the optimization responses) were accepted in BatchOptimizeToursRequest AsyncModelConfigs for the BatchOptimizeTours API. Now GcsDestination uris must be unique across all BatchOptimizeToursRequest AsyncModelConfigs in a single BatchOptimizeTours API call. This is desirable behavior to fail the BatchOptimizeTours call earlier as the call will not be able to complete successfully if enough output files are not provided.

Route Optimization API

Announcing the General Availability (GA) release of the Route Optimization API.

The Route Optimization API assigns tasks and routes to a vehicle fleet, optimizing against the objectives and constraints that you supply for your transportation goals.
