Msg_SetRoutingProfileJSON

This API accepts JSON input and will set the routing profile according to the attributes defined in the JSON. The following steps are the recommended way to modify a profile:

  • If the profile does not exist:

    • Add a profile, sending in the name and vehicle type
    • CoPilot will create a new profile and return the properly formatted JSON representation of the routing profile. It will return it in the callback set with Msg_SetFlexCallback
  • If the profile already exists:

    • Request the profile to get the proper JSON format, modify, and resend to CoPilot with Msg_SetRoutingProfileJSON
    • MSG_IDT_ADDROUTINGPROFILE and MSG_IDT_ROUTINGPROFILE_REQUEST for more detailed description on how to use those

For all of the matching identifiers please see Routing Profile Identifiers.

setHazmatTypeField and parseHazTypeField

To generate hazardous materials routing, the “HazType” field must be set in Msg_SetRoutingProfileJSON. That field holds an integer value that either represents the Hazmat Type for that profile or both the Hazmat Type and the EU Tunnel Code for hazardous materials routing in Europe.

setHazmatTypeField is a helper function that creates an integer value to represent both the Hazmat Type and the EU Tunnel Code. If the EU Tunnel Code is already set, you can parse the JSON to get the HazType value, and use the helper function parseHazTypeField to decode the Hazmat Type and EU Tunnel Code.

Supported Since Minimum Operating System
CoPilot 10.9.0.1322 Windows 10, Android 4.1

Syntax (Prototyped in alkmsg.h or alkmsg.java)

static unsigned long setHazmatTypeField(THazType hazType, TEUTunnelCode euTunnelCode);
static void parseHazTypeField(unsigned long ulHazType, THazType& hazType, TEUTunnelCode& euTunnelCode);
static public ulong setHazmatTypeField(THazType hazType, TEUTunnelCode euTunnelCode)

public static int setHazmatTypeField(THazType hazType, TEUTunnelCode euTunnelCode);
public static void parseHazTypeField(int ulHazType, THazType[] hazType, TEUTunnelCode[] euTunnelCode)

Parameters

THazType hazType - Hazardous Type that reflects the THazType enumerations. TEUTunnelCode euTunnel Code - Tunnel code type that reflects the TEUTunnelCode enumerations.

Return Value

The integer value that should be inserted into the RoutingProfile JSON field “HazType” to reflect the desired Hazmat Type and EU Tunnel Code pair.

Sample Code

//To create an integer value that represents an "Explosive" Hazmat Type and "CDE" Tunnel Code.

Msg.THazType hazType = HazType_Explosive;
Msg.TEUTunnelCode euTunnelCode = TEUTunnelCode.CDE;
ulong jsonHazTypeFieldValue = Msg.setHazmatTypeField(hazType, euTunnelCode);

//You would then set your JSON value of “HazType” to this value and use Msg_SetRoutingProfileJSON to set the routing profile

//This sample takes the parsed value of the HazType field from a JSON formatted Routing Profile

Note

Following configuration file is used to enable/disable truck alert:

copilot user.cfg

[TruckWarnings]
“Enabled”= 1/0

  • If 1, it will display Truck alert in CoPilot. If Msg_ID_TruckAlerts are subscribed then it will provide real-time truck alerts to the SDK.

  • If 0, it will not display Truck alert in CoPilot. Subscription of Msg_ID_TruckAlerts will not be available.

“TruckAlertsToSDKOnly”=1/0

  • If 1, it will not display Truck alert in CoPilot.

  • If 0, it will display Truck alert in CoPilot assumed that “Enabled” flag is 1.

Example

Msg_Subscribe(MSG_ID_TruckAlert);

Msg_UpdateOptions (MSG_ID_TruckAlert, true, false, TruckAlertCallback);

// Receiving side either by callback or through message queue mechanism
void TruckAlertCallback (const char *pBuf,const unsigned long lBufLen) {
  long lAlertType;
  long lAlertDistance
  Msg_GetTruckAlert(pBuf, lBuflen, lAlertType, lAlertDistance);
}

Note: lAlertDistance is in yards or meters (depending on user settings miles or km). If no alerts are received from CoPilot, the client application should clear the last alert displayed in 3.5 seconds. Please see sample application for implementation of TruckAlert.

Msg_GetRoutingEvent

Provides event based routing information through subscription of Msg_ID_RoutingEvent. The routing information includes, Route Calculation Progress, destination reached event, GPS signal loss, waypoint passed, destination changed event, restricted road event.

Supported Since Minimum Operating System
CoPilot 9.2.0 Windows 10, Android 4.1

Note: Routing events are divided into different categories to allow the client application to control the notifications that are received. By default the config values for GPSRoutingEvent and TripRoutingEvent are set to = 0 and disabled. By default Restricted RoutingEvents is enabled and set to 1. The default config settings may differ depending on the version of CoPilot that you are running. A breakdown is provided below of the link between the identifiers and the config setting.

Msg_IDT_XMILES_NOTIFICATION

#define Msg_IDT_XMILES_NOTIFICATION 0x0012L

This notification is being sent when user is X miles/kms (based on the unit selected in CoPilot) away from the destination. The user can configure the X distance in 2 ways:

User.cfg (Static way to change the distance notification settings)

[SDK] “NotificationXDist” = 2

By using above settings, CoPilot will provide Msg_IDT_XMILES_NOTIFICATION, once user is 0.2 miles/kms away from the destination.

Using API (Dynamic way to change the distance notification settings)

The user can use Msg_ConfigSetIntVal to set the NotificationXDist settings in CoPilot.

E.g. Msg_ConfigSetIntVal (“SDK”," NotificationXDist “, 20)

By using the above settings, CoPilot will provide Msg_IDT_XMILES_NOTIFICATION, once user is 2 miles/kms away from destination.

Additional Notes

  • Value of the NotificationXDist is always in multiplication of 10. If the user wants to have notification at 0.2 miles/kms from the destination, the user needs to pass 2.

  • User can change the notification value at any time. E.g. initially the user sets the notification at 2 mile by using Msg_ConfigSetIntVal (passing 20). The user gets the notification when user is 2 miles away from destination. Now the user wants to have another notification at 0.3 miles. This notification can be set again by using the Msg_ConfigSetIntVal by passing 3.

  • Once the value is set, it will be applied for all the destinations. If notification is not required then the user can unsubscribe the routing event or set the value as 0.

  • The user can get the notification once for a given value.e.g.

    • If the user sets the notification at 0.3 miles and gets the notification at 0.3 mile.
    • If the user is off route before reaching the destination and travelling away from destination.
    • When user is back again within 0.3 mile to destination. CoPilot will not send notification as it is already being sent.

Msg_IDT_ROUTE_SYNC_MISMATCH

This notification is being sent if RouteSync provided route is not match with planned route by CoPilot.

#define Msg_IDT_ROUTE_SYNC_MISMATCH 0x0013L

Msg_IDT_ROUTE_SYNC_CALC_FINISHED

This notification is being sent on completion of route sync route calculation.

#define Msg_IDT_ROUTE_SYNC_CALC_FINISHED 0x0015L

Msg_IDT_TRAFFIC_DELAY

This notification is being sent if active traffic is enabled. lPayload contain delay in number of minutes in ETA.

This notification is used with traffic bar and active traffic settings on the CoPilot. This notification is being sent whenever traffic bar is being refresh.

#define Msg_IDT_TRAFFIC_DELAY 0x0014L

Example

Msg_Subscribe(MSG_ID_RoutingEvents):
Msg_UpdateOptions(MSG_ID_RoutingEvents, true, false, MyRoutingEventsCallback);

//Receiving side either by callback or through message queue mechanism
void MyRoutingEventCallback(const char *pBuf, const unsigned long lBufLen) {
  long lRoutingEvent, lPayload;
  Msg_GetRoutingEvent(pBuf, lBufLen, lRoutingEvent, lPayload);
}

Notes

  • Above messages are divided into different categories to allow the client application to control what it wants to receive. By default the values in CoPilot user.cfg = 0, as per the example below, as a result the messages will be disabled. To enable the messages the config values should = 1.
User.cfg Values MESSAGES DISABLED
[SDK]
"RestrictedRoutingEvent"=0
Msg_IDT_ROUTE_RESTRICTEDROAD
Msg_IDT_ROUTE_RESTRICTEDDEST

Please note that configurations can be different in different version of CoPilot

  • rPayload is used with Msg_IDT_ROUTECALC_PROGRESS and Msg_IDT_DISTUNIT_CHANGED
  • rPayload when used with Msg_IDT_ROUTECALC_PROGRESS, it is used to show the percentage progress in route calculation.
  • rPayload when used with Msg_IDT_DISTUNIT_CHANGED, indicates when the unit is changed to English (rPayload = 1) or Metric (rPayload = 0).
  • rPayload in Msg_IDT_TRAFFIC_DELAY indicates the number of mins of delay due to traffic in current route.
