Skip to main content
The Solvice Maps Distance Matrix service is specifically made for products that use route optimization to power scheduling operations. Route optimization (TSP, PDP, VRP, …) requires the usage of a distance matrix detailing the travel time and distance from every location to every other location in the solve request.

}
If you have small matrices and want to integrate a fast synchronous service, use the /table/sync endpoint.

Traffic aware (TomTom)

Solvice Maps has integrated TomTom road segment information in order to produce Traffic-aware routing. It is based on slices of adjusted travel time information. To get Traffic aware distance matrices, you need to set the departureTime as well as setting the routing "engine": TOMTOM. At Solvice, we use the following slices:
PeriodFromTo
NIGHT20:3006:30
MORNING_RUSH06:3009:30
MORNING09:3012:00
MIDDAY12:0014:30
AFTERNOON14:3016:30
EVENING_RUSH16:3019:30
In between slices, you can get interpolated values by setting the property "interpolate": true. Like so:
POST /table 
{
    "coordinates": [
        [4.912342132, 50.2123123],
        [4.812341234, 50.4123421],
        [5.012341342, 50.9124312],
        [5.057869730, 50.4940923]
    ],
    "departureTime": "2025-06-25T14:30:00",
    "engine": "TOMTOM",
    "interpolate": true

}
