ALK Technologies announced the successful integration and certification of its PC*Miler 25 and PC*Miler|Tolls 25 by TMW Systems to ensure customers can take advantage of the new enhancements.


TMW Systems certified the new PC*Miler 25 release for its Optimization Software products IDSC ExpertFuel, IDSC TripAlert, and IDSC MatchAdvice, Appian Logistics, TruckMate and TMWSuite. Certification to other TMW Systems Enterprise Transportation Software is in process.

With new time-based features and enhancements, PC*Miler's 25th annual edition makes it simple to define a departure or arrival date and time to calculate more realistic transit times. PC*Miler 25 also has critical map data updates such as truck restrictions and truck-specific toll costs.

PC*Miler 25 can also be delivered as a hosted solutions offering through TMW Managed Services when integrated with the IDSC Optimization, TL2000, TMWSuite, TruckMate and Innovative IES platforms. TMW Managed Services is designed to reduce IT risk and infrastructure investments, ensure system scalability and streamline technology deployments.

PC*Miler 25 map data features and enhancements include 220,000 new and updated truck restrictions and allowances in addition to over 3.78 million road-specific attributes that affect truck travel.

Additional features include:

* An expanded capability to calculate toll costs based on time of day travel for 31 discount toll programs in the United States and Canada.

* Map tools to create geofences. When a route crosses a geofence, PC*Miler 25 displays a warning in the route itinerary or avoids the geofenced area altogether, based on user preferences.

* Real-time and historical traffic speeds to calculate optimal routes, more precise transit times and ETAs.
