HERE Tour planning - new features

There are three new features in the latest release:

1. Support for avoiding polygon areas for the fleet: Now the polygons and encoded polygons can be specified in the fleet avoid areas. This feature can be useful in several situations such as when the tour planner wants the fleet to restrict from going through a particular area.
2. Support for the side of the street hint: The tour planners can specify which side of the street the vehicle should stop. By default, tour planning may allow the vehicle to park on either side of the road at the destination. This feature is particularly useful for drivers carrying heavy orders and therefore would like to stop on the side of the destination. The driver won’t have to cross the road on foot.
3. New cluster service time strategy (boundedSumStrategy): When there are multiple orders to be delivered or picked up at the same location, the total service time may be less than the sum of individual task service time. The boundedSumStrategy can be used to specify the total service time as the sum of all individual tasks’ service time but is limited by a maximum value.
