Interact with Everest TMS (Transport Management System)

Mission → Estimate

AI-generated

Overview

The node interacts with the Everest Transport Management System (TMS) to estimate missions. It allows users to provide details such as the service, start address, and end address to get an estimation for a mission. This is useful for logistics and transport companies to calculate mission parameters before execution, such as cost or duration estimates.

Use Case Examples

  1. Estimating the cost and duration of a delivery mission from a specified start address to an end address using a selected service.
  2. Getting an estimate for a transport mission without specifying a service, relying on address inputs only.

Properties

Name Meaning
Service The specific service to be used for the mission estimation. Optional selection from available services.
Start Address The starting address for the mission, used to calculate the route and estimate.
End Address The destination address for the mission, used to calculate the route and estimate.

Output

JSON

  • estimateResult - The result of the mission estimation, including details such as cost, duration, or other relevant metrics returned by the Everest TMS API.

Dependencies

  • Everest TMS API with an API key credential

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues include invalid or incomplete address inputs which may cause the estimation to fail or return inaccurate results.
  • If the selected service ID is invalid or not available, the node may return an error or no estimation.
  • API request failures due to network issues or invalid credentials will cause errors; ensure the API key credential is correctly configured.
