PC*MILER Routing Types
PC*MILER Routing Types
Practical Routes
Practical routes represent distances and driving routes that a driver
would normally take to minimize time and cost. Practical Routes
model the trade-off between taking the most direct path and
staying on major, high quality highways. Interstate highways are
given a higher priority than toll roads, which, in turn, are given
a higher priority than secondary highways, and so on. Routing
Instructions and mileage can be used when actual travel distances
and directions are needed.
PC*MILER Practical route consider distance, road quality, terrain,
urban/rural classifications, truck-restricted roads, and designated
principal and secondary through routes.
PC*MILER Practical Route mileage and state-by-state mileage
breakdowns (Note: PC*MILER does not provide state by state
milage breakdown information) can be used to supplement
your regular fuel tax reporting documents for many states. Many
state audit departments have purchased licenses to incorporate
PC*MILER Navigator into the their audit procedures.
Economic Routes
Economic routes favor major roads over local ones to optimize
fuel milage.
