Keeping road mileage under control with EWS

PTV EWS distance tables

With the EWS 2.0 distance tables you have direct access to distances between more than 116,000 locations in Germany alone. EWS Europe even contains a total of almost 560,000 locations. Since the discontinuation of the long-distance freight tariff (GFT) in 1994, it has become the standard in Germany, despite it not being an official authoritative basis.

The EWS is a comprehensive database including the distance matrix associated with the recorded locations; so, a distance calculation in the actual sense is no longer necessary.

We also provide an EWS API for a seamless integration into modern cloud systems.

Individual distance matrices

If you are only interested in the distances of a fixed number of routes, we can also provide you with individual distance matrices with distances shown to the nearest point. Included are the postcodes and city names of the required locations with the precise distance to the respective base locations defined by you, mostly down to house number level.

If required, we can also show the toll road distances or calculate truck and car distances based on different routing profiles.

ASTAG distance tables

The ASTAG distance tables are the standard reference for the professional determination of distances on Swiss roads. The basis of the distance matrix is the official data from the Swiss commercial vehicle association, also known as ASTAG.

These distance tables, especially for Switzerland, thus correspond to the EWS distance tables most commonly used for Germany or Austria in terms of quality and possible applications.
