Dear team,
I would like to have more settings to calculate the right route by taking account the maximum weights (up to 40 tons) and vehicle height (up to eg. 5 meters)
As I found the weight can allready be set in OsmAnd configuration of navigation/route settings from 1.5 up to 3 tons only.

Many bridges, tunnels and roads have already set these limitations on OSM.
So we need a way to use them properly.
(Label maxweight and maxheight)


This feature could make selectable next car, bicycle and pedestrian mode by an additional mode such as "truck".
And pointing out that the calculated route may take a very long time. :-)

Similarly, some roads have time restrictions that don't seem to work for me.

Right. But time restrictions didnt work at TomTom Professional navigation too.
Thats pretty difficult to implement.

My simple request is to remember avail maxheight an maxweight settings based on given car parameters to avoid use of "to small" roads.
Similary as you cant use pedestrians to pass with a car.

hello,
Active contributor on OSM, I start to test OsmAnd.
I use a camper and I'd like also to be supported, weight, height; and incidentally length and width.
As a bonus, information about parking limited in height, for example color change if the height is lower than that of the profile.
Good luck and thank you to the team.
Bernard

OsmAnd already supports time-based speed limits, and they work well. 
What other time-based restrictions are you looking for?

Dear t.
Time restrictions is not the main toppic of this thread. It was a cross-hint only to compare a feature wich also calculates different routes based on extended criterias.
The restrictions described in this topic are for cars with larger dimensions wich are not able or permitted to use any road. Roads with restricted maxweight or like bridges wich cant be passed with a campervan or truck because they are often less than 2.5m height.
Shure there are restrictions out there, they are time based too.
But this has a lower preference.
In fact the most restricting values (like maxheight for a tunnel etc.) are allready given in the map data but there is no way to get use of it.

Regards, Jan

PS: Yes, this feature request is still active.
I think most people who needs this feature wont know about this platform or wont take time to request for their needs. I'm not alone out there with my litzle car. (And sometimes with my bigger and big one :) )

hello,
Excuse my English, but I use Google translation from French.
I have not addressed the issue of "Time Limit", I ask to be able to define the vehicle according to its weight, its height; and more rarely of its length and width (in France we have downtowns best avoided with a truck or camper.
It exists in a OsmAnd prélimitation weight, but too restrictive (1.5T and 3.T).

Turn restrictions by time of day are stupidly common in California and Oklahoma.  North America also has tens of thousands (if not over a hundred thousand) miles of cycleways that are closed during certain hours.  Port access roads are also commonly closed part of the day.

--> The freedom of America.
Requests for time restrictions have to go to a new thread now...

This requested feature is a static feature based on AVAILABLE mapdata to prevent routing by roads you can't pass never ever at any time.
...before you get stuck in the tunnel...
...or before the bridge wich was constructet for only up to 3t breaks down if you drove to with 40 tons of weight because it seems impossible to treet the navigation for searching an other way to get around.
This feature can also help to prevent lorrys to travel by living streets except its necessary to reach the goal.

Its not the truck drivers fault wich get stuck in an unknown suburb or living street if the information wich can prevent this still exists in the background but there is still no way to access it.
Often with larger vehicles you have to drive completely different routes from the beginning. But if you drive that track first you can't know about nogos within the route until it's to late.

I also care about HGVs and buses. I have already added more values into the existing support of maxweight. The current list is "1.5t,3t,5t,10t,15t,20t". Do you need any more values? You can also edit the routing.xml file in your OsmAnd data folder and add any new values you need.

I am also working on support for maxheight.

Le plus simple serait d'avoir une liste ouverte, en faisant attention aux limites (un véhicule de 3.5T peut passer sur une route limitée à 3.5T).
Dans le même esprit, prévoir également, la largeur maximale (maxwidth) , hauteur maximale (maxheight)  et longueur maximale (maxlength)


The simplest would be to have an open list, being careful with the limits (a 3.5T vehicle can pass on a limited road 3.5T).
Similarly, plan well,
the maximum width (maxwidth)
maximum height (maxheight) and
maximum length (maxlength)

Bump

How do OsmAnd calculate with maxheight?

If a bridge with maxheight tag goes over a road. Will OsmAnd calculate with that or should the maxheight tag add to the road?

The usage of the road is limited.

The maxheight tag must be on the road where the restriction is and on which your car is driving. You can't express the limitation on the bridge (or any other object) "above" the road that is drawn separately in OSM.

So if there is a traffic sign on the side of the road (or overhead put on the bridge itself, but intended to be read by drivers on the road below the bridge), tag the maxheight onto the road.
