The HERE Routing API v7 allows you to specify vehicle specific parameters,
which are then used to calculate fuel or energy consumption for a car on a given route.
The interface is generic to allow support for multiple different models.
The HERE Routing API v7 currently supports the standard
model.
Standard consumption model
To specify the
standard
model, add
consumptionmodel=standard
to a request. You must provide additional information
in the query parameter customConsumptionDetails
. The unit of energy
for this model is not defined and can be determined by the user. This documentation
uses reference meter
as a unit of energy. The term reference meter refers to the
amount of energy needed to traverse 1 meter on a straight road at optimal speed. The
following table shows all the possible parameters that can be sent to the
standard
consumption model. You must send all the parameters in one string, separated by semicolons. The example below illustrates
a set of correct consumption model parameters for the
standard
model:
