PC MILER HAZMAT ROUTING DATABASE
PC MILER calculates routes for hazardous materials based on
over thirty different road categories.
U.S. hazardous material routing
restriction/designation information taken from The
National Hazardous Materials Route Registry provided by
the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA); and
various other state and federal sources. Canadian hazmat
data derived from government and municipal sources in each
Province and Territory. ROUTE ENTRY
PC MILER HazMat allows entry of an unlimited number of stops
for a route. You can route to border crossings, highway
junctions, truck stop locations, and CAT Weigh Scale
stations, in addition to towns, cities, ZIP/Postal Codes,
latitude/longitude coordinates, infoUSA points of interest
(if installed), and custom-named locations.
Every time you run a route, four calculations are made for
each leg of the trip: miles between stops, cumulative miles
from the origin, cumulative cost of the trip, and cumulative
drive time for the trip. A lane routing general hazmats is
shown below:
Route Entry Window HAZARDOUS
MATERIALS ROUTING TYPES PC MILER
HazMat enables users to run Practical or Shortest routes,
with or without National Network, 53' Trailer and/or Toll
Discouraged route parameters for various types of hazardous
materials. In PC MILER HazMat, the hazardous materials
routing selections include: General, Caustic, Explosives,
Flammable, Inhalants, and Radioactives. The Route Entry
Window’s Options dialog box allows you to mark these
settings per route, or as a global setting. (To calculate
non-hazmat PC MILER routes, select None.)

HAZARDOUS MATERIALS ROUTING When
you generate a route for hazardous materials,
hazmat-prohibited and -designated roads will be highlighted
in the RouteMap window. On the map, the Restrictions legend
shows the highlight color for various designations (to
display this legend, go to the Map menu > Legends).
The road restriction legend provides additional help in
determining restricted road segments.

HAZARDOUS MATERIAL ROUTE RESTRICTIONS IN REPORTS
The PC MILER HazMat Detailed Route Report includes the same
information as PC MILER’s with the addition of the
Restrictions column. If you generate a route using one of
the hazardous material route types, restricted route
segments will be labeled “Restricted” in this column. Routes
designated as preferred for hazardous materials will not be
indicated on the report as they’ve already been considered
when the route was generated.

COMPARISON AND COMPARISON REPORT PC
MILER HazMat enables users to simultaneously compare up to
eight different routes. The example below shows three routes
from Pittsburgh, PA to Philadelphia, PA. The three routes
show the differences between a Shortest, Practical, and
Practical-Radioactive route. On average, operating mileage
for vehicles hauling hazardous materials (hazmat) are five
to fifteen percent longer than rating miles, and even as
high as 40 percent longer. Use PC MILER HazMat’s tools to
perform the basis of your rate negotiations, such as the
Comparison Report. The Comparison Report lists total
mileage, cost and time estimates:

route, the light purple is the Practical route and the light

HAZARDOUS MATERIAL PERMITS
Customers who have obtained permits can change the status of
hazmat prohibited roads in the database using the Adjust
for Permits option. This feature allows you to directly
click the prohibited road(s) on the map that you wish to
make accessible for routing. The adjusted route segments
will now have a bright green outline. The custom road
settings you create can be removed by clicking again on the
same road with the Adjust for Permits button active,
or by using the Custom Roads Manager.
