CoPilot generates truck routes that adhere to restrictions based on a vehicle’s dimensions, weight, and load (hazmat), as well as time-based restrictions and environmental zones (Europe only). To help a driver avoid an unsafe situation, CoPilot provides a series of text and audio warnings in situations where:

• The driver must travel on a restricted road because his or her destination is located there.
• The driver ignores CoPilot's guidance and drives onto a restricted road.

Warnings during planning 

When there is a legal or physical restriction on a road where a stop is located, CoPilot will provide a pop-up message to notify the driver at the time the route is planned. The warning is the restricted road name followed by "is a restricted destination."

Warnings during navigation

As the driver enters the restricted road, the warning message below is provided. CoPilot discontinues guidance (voice and text on the bottom of the screen). CoPilot continues to follow the driver so he or she can see where they are on the map, but does not provide further guidance until the driver leaves the restricted road.

Warnings for low bridges

Because of the immediate danger of low bridges, CoPilot issues a special pop-up message and audio alert during navigation. (Restrictions based on other vehicle dimensions, such as weight, height, and width, trigger the more general “... Always obey locally posted regulations” message above.)

Example

Location: East Randolph St, Chicago, IL, 41.884502, -87.626140

Restrictions: Truck Restricted, Low Bridge, One-Way

CoPilot would never route a truck onto this road unless the destination was on this road. In that case, CoPilot:

• Warns the driver immediately when the trip starts that East Randolph Street is a restricted road.
• Warns the driver after turning onto the road to stop because there is a low bridge.

If the driver reaches the destination on East Randolph, CoPilot:

• Clears the destination from the list of stops on the trip.
• Warns the driver that East Randolph is a restricted road and to obey local laws.
• Discontinues guidance (voice and text on the bottom of the screen). CoPilot continues to follow the driver so he or she can see where they are on the map, but will not provide further guidance until the driver leaves the restricted road.
