PASS MAPS for route and tour planning
PASS MAPS for truck route planning online
Web-based planning and optimization tool – the lightweight for your tours
Are you looking for visual support in truck route planning and want to leverage optimization potential? At the same time, however, you only have a small fleet and complex route planning systems seem too large and complicated for your needs? We have the solution: With the web-based software PASS MAPS you can perform your truck route planning online – without complex interface adaptation or training measures.
Powerful algorithms
The basis for PASS MAPS consists of our MAPSERVICES, which provide geo-information and optimization services for transport logistics. Almost all functions that we offer there as an API-based cloud service can also be used in PASS MAPS. We would be happy to inform you about the performance and functionality of our algorithms.
-
Minimalist data – to use PASS MAPS, there is no need for complex master data maintenance and configuration. All necessary data are entered directly into the interface, provided via Excel or are already preset in the best possible way.
-
Simple data exchange via Excel – the most used interface format in the business world are Excel files. PASS MAPS is based on this paradigm. Simply load your orders and your fleet into the tool via the interactive wizard and start optimizing.
-
All the way into the vehicle – finished plans can be sent all the way into the vehicle at the push of a button. Here we support a range of options and providers, entirely in line with the needs and requirements of our customers.
Route calculation and optimization
Calculate travel times and routes between different destinations for trucks, cars or cargo bikes without detailed stop information and optimize stop sequences within a tour or across tours.
Professional tour planning
In addition to driving time and route optimization, shipment-relevant aspects such as idle times, capacities, and restrictions are included in the optimization, thus creating realistic delivery plans. Send your planning to the vehicle at the push of a button.
Area planning and visualization
Analyze the location, distribution and assignment of addresses and delivery areas with or without assignment to depots. Get information on actual commute distances and area sizes or simply get a cartographic overview.

Visualize, calculate and optimize your car and truck routes by clicking on the map or by entering them in the browser. See your daily routes compactly at a glance incl. truck driving times, distance data (Distance Rules for Road Transport/EWS) with toll information and cost calculation. Use the predefined truck profile with passage restrictions and adjusted speeds and export your resulting truck route planning as an Excel spreadsheet.
- Automatic address completion and correction during input (geocoding)
- Determination of distance, travel time, toll distance, CO2 emission and transport costs
- Use of fastest, shortest or most cost-optimal route as basis for optimization
- Calculation of route planning with truck-specific parameters
- Display of multiple tours at the same time
- Truck route optimization at the push of a button
- Direct call by entering the URL possible, e.g. from Excel

See on the map where your customers are distributed or how your sales territories are located. Have key figures calculated for your customer distribution and display the allocation directly on the map, either by entering them in the web app or the URL, e.g. via Excel functions.
- Visualization of areas and addresses in different colorings
- Calculation of metrics based on reference points such as branch office or warehouse addresses
- Determination of regions by merging existing territorial structures such as postal codes or administrative areas (e.g. cities, counties, etc.)
- Quick export as Excel spreadsheet
- Creation of individual areas by drawing on the map

A complete tour planning software and tour optimization like e.g. PLANTOUR offers you more functionalities than you need. Standard settings are enough for you? You only want to plan sporadically or have only a small fleet? Use PASS MAPS for truck route optimization in just three steps:
- Upload order data via Excel file and have it automatically located
- Upload fleet data via Excel file
- Set optimization parameters and get result
Truck route planning online can be this easy.
- Intuitive route planning for trucks with professional algorithms and functions
- Fast with Excel upload without additional interface
- Display of tours directly on the map
- Consideration of truck attribute
- Manual post-processing of tours via drag & drop in the map
- Export tours as Excel spreadsheet
Data import
PASS MAPS allows a quick data import from Excel via drag & drop.
Planning variants
No matter if precombined tours, free planning or mixed tour, with or without a break – (almost) everything is possible.
Fleet
Truck, car or cargo bike – speed profiles, restrictions and cost models are taken into account.
E-Mobility
PASS MAPS takes into account different drives and ranges for e-vehicles.
Planning Horizon
Whether daily planning, weekly planning or monthly planning – PASS MAPS provides the functions.
Planning directly into the vehicle
(Almost) every telematics provider can be used – alternatively also messengers like WhatsApp or Telegram.

Intuitive User Interface
A clear focus on the map display and a reduced search field enable a quick and intuitive start.
The current traffic situation at a glance
Live traffic data helps to estimate delays especially during the execution of a tour.
Pinpoint located
Building geometries with house numbers, POI names and visualizations help to search on the map.
Simply from A to B and further
Fast and easy route search over multiple stops and multiple routes. Key figures are displayed directly.
Data imported quickly
Using an intelligent Excel Import Wizard, data can be imported to PASS MAPS via drag and drop.
Clear optimization settings
Compact at a glance: the optimization settings.
The optimization is running
The progress of the optimization can be easily tracked via the cost development and, if necessary, can also be terminated prematurely.
Maps and Bordereau at a glance
Tours are clearly displayed on the map or in tabular form. The dispatcher can intervene here simply by drag & drop.
Road or airline?
Depending on preference, tours can be displayed with pins or points or with exact routing or as the crow flies.
See entry restrictions
Both in the table and on the map, access restrictions are visualized on the last meters.
Also works in the field and in the forest
Special routing algorithms for restricted areas such as pedestrian zones or woods and meadows provide sensible routes.
Adresses found quickly
Auto-completion, auto-correction and suggestion lists help to locate the target precisely.
Administrative areas
We find not only addresses, but also districts, administrative areas (counties, administrative districts, ...) and postal code areas.
Clear representation of the area
With the territory mode, e.g. sales territories can be easily visualized and calculated.
Customer allocation visualized
Addresses, their area and their assignment to reference points (e.g. branch office) can be visualized easily.
Customer allocation optimized
Addresses, their area and their assignment to reference points (e.g. branch office) can be easily visualized and sensibly reassigned at the push of a button.
See passage restrictions
Especially for truck routing, it is helpful to see passage restrictions on the route.
Understanding passage restrictions
Understand why a routing that appears optimal at first glance is not necessarily always the shortest route.
Forbidden maneuvers
Turning rules and prohibited maneuvers.
Edit roads
Restrictions in the network do not always match reality. Data errors or deliberate changes can be easily made or corrected.
Know the road
A compact overview of a road segment helps to understand how travel times come about.
