I am looking at calculating the total cost of deliveries within a GIS model. So, If a flow Item travels between points A and B, I want to record the cost and get a total cost for every route at the end.
I can click on a route in the map and know the cost to travel on this route, but I don't know how to pull this data and use it.
Is there a simple example somewhere?
You can use the getCost() method of the navigator class to read the distance/duration/cost of a travel action between two GIS points.
Using a task executer reference as the first parameter does not seem to work as advertised in the documentation though. In the attached model I thus trigger the data acquisition just before the travel task starts, so I can read the current location of the truck from the navigator. There are of course numerous other ways of how one could keep track of what point a TE is at at the moment.
