Overview

This node operation creates a new route in the Everest Transport Management System (TMS). It is useful for logistics and transportation planning where users need to define routes with specific mission references, assign vehicles, and set various route parameters such as name, color, agent assignment, start and end addresses, routing engine, and scheduling constraints. For example, a logistics manager can create a route for a delivery day, specifying which vehicles and missions are involved, and applying constraints like time windows and status updates.

Use Case Examples

1. Creating a delivery route with multiple missions and vehicles for a specific day.
2. Assigning an agent and vehicle to a route with a custom start and end address.
3. Setting route color and status to organize and track routes visually.

Properties

Output

JSON

• id - Unique identifier of the created route.
• name - Name of the created route.
• status - Current status of the route.
• missions - List of missions included in the route.
• vehicles - List of vehicles assigned to the route.
• agent_id - ID of the agent assigned to the route.
• time_window - Time window constraints applied to the route.

Dependencies

• Requires an API key credential for Everest TMS to authenticate requests.

Troubleshooting

• Ensure that mission references and vehicle IDs are provided in the correct comma-separated format; invalid formatting may cause errors.
• Verify that the agent and status options are valid and exist in the Everest system to avoid selection errors.
• Check that date and time values for time window constraints are in the correct timezone (Europe/Paris) and format to prevent scheduling conflicts.
• If the node throws authentication errors, confirm that the Everest API credentials are correctly configured and have necessary permissions.
