14.1 Installing the Travel Matrix

The installation of the Travel Matrix file(s) for your ServiceScheduling system will generally be performed by a ServicePower Consultant.

1. Obtain the relevant Travel Matrix file(s) for the appropriate country or countries of operation.
2. Copy the .tm2 file(s) into a directory on the same machine as the ServiceOptimizer instance.
3. Configure ServiceOptimizer to use the Travel Matrix file(s) – see 14.1 Travel Time Estimates in the ServiceOptimizer Admin Guide.
4. If there is already an existing Travel Matrix set up and you wish to upgrade to a newer version then follow the Install Instructions supplied with the Travel Matrix file(s).
5. If a P2P (point-to-point) travel matrix for more accurate travel time is also to be created and used then ask ServicePower Consultants or use the information provided in 14.1 Travel Time Estimates.
6. If RTT (real-time-traffic) travel data is to be used to accurately update a job's travel time with current traffic delays before travel to the job has started then ask ServicePower Consultants or use the information provided in 14.1 Travel Time Estimates.
