The EWS (“Entfernungswerk Strasse”) mainly consists of precalculated truck distances to quickly access them for different use cases like invoice auditing. Up to now, we provided data versions for the years 2017 to 2022.

In the new version of the PTV Developer EWS Road Distance API V1.3.0 you even have the possibility to use all data from 2016 onwards. And as the new year just started, we also added data version 2023.

The new data for 2023 has been fundamentally revised and offers more detailed content. The reference locations were checked, and their number was significantly increased (region EUROPE now with more than 14,000 and region GERMANY with more than 10,000 reference locations). In addition, toll distances for trucks in Austria take international routes into account.

The EWS (“Entfernungswerk Strasse”) mainly consists of precalculated truck distances and is the de facto standard in the transport sector. You have quick and direct access to these distances via relations all over Europe.

Since many years we deliver the EWS data directly to our customers as on-premise solution. Now we also offer a cloud solution integrated as new API in our product PTV Developer!

Detailed information like concepts or the API specification is available in the PTV Developer API documentation. Maybe the best thing to start is exploring the code sample there!
