Through this functionality in Cocon it is possible to have Cocon search for a new route for a new connection. The estimated costs will be presented as wel.

The routing may be commenced - generally speaking - in two different ways:

•You draw a line with the desired starting location and end location, and if available through the selected network, and you route on the basis of the shortest distance.

From the geographical screen open the menu item and select the button 'Reserve new traject' . Then click on the start location. After that you may go directly to the end location and double-click there, or go to the end location via points in between. In fact, you draw a line between the desired starting location and end location. In the next screen you choose one of five routing options.

•Immediately enter a starting location and end location in between which the routing needs to occur.

From the geographical screen open the menu item and select the button 'Traject routing' . In the duct route routing screen you choose the option "only route in between two addresses" after entering the starting location and end location.

Routing name	The name of the routing found, used for the creation of an Excel file.
From / To address	The starting location and end location of the routing.
End Distance	Indicates how far removed the endpoint found may be situated from the endpoint entered. The value is given in meters.
Max. search time.	The maximum search time within which the new routing needs to be found. If the maximum search time is exceeded Cocon will stop searching for a correct routing. The time is given in seconds.
Tolerance	Indicates within how many meters a crossover may be performed to another cable or access point. The tolerance is entered in meters.
Distance factor	If the distance from the starting location up to the end location is 10 meters, for instance, then the route - at a distance factor of 1 - divert in the other direction by 10 meters as well, before the routing mechanism goes to the end location.
Do not cross water or railways	The traject routing tool may not cross water or railways
Straight lines to the network	This allows you to indicate if it will be possible to have a straight line routing through the streets to and from the network. This option is especially intended for situations where excavation work is of secondary importance.
	The backbone network may not be cut to create the new route
	The route of a duct route is defined by drawing a buffer.
Only between 2 addresses	By entering two locations in the geography or by using both zip codes, a routing will be created between these two locations only, without interference of a network.
Connect begin point to nearest network	Create routing between a new location and the existing network. The routing will search for the nearest network automatically.
Connect begin point to selected network	Create routing between a new location and a point that needs to be indicated in the existing network.
Connect begin point and route to endpoint	This option allows you to enter a starting point as well as the point where it needs to enter the network. Eventually, an existing location will be indicated where the routing through the network needs to end.
Connect begin and endpoint via the network	This option may be executed in two ways. First, the starting point is indicated as well as the point where the routing needs to enter the network. Then, where the routing needs to leave the network and then the end location. The second way serves only to enter the starting point and endpoint. The routing will then automatically choose the nearest entry- and exit-point on the network.
	Save the routing on the server with an ID-reference. The routing may at any time be retrieved with the ID.

	Duct routes and streets can be left out by drawing blocked lines.
	After the routing has been created two adjustments may be applied to the route. Streets may be blocked. In order to select the streets you first need to choose the button in the geographical screen in the button series Change geography. Now you may select a street. If the street is selected a red line will become visible in the street. By clicking the Search button again in the Duct Route Routing screen a new routing will be created. The selected street will not be included in the routing. Using the Shift key you may select several streets at once.
	Load the routing from the server log, by the routing's ID-reference.
	Generate the route based on the trenchroute.
	Determine all possible paths with the given parameters.
Find+	Determine a for a second set of parameters the possible paths
,,	By turning part of the duct route around Cocon may be able to select a better route.
	If you click the white square in one of the three buttons (example ) then this part of the duct route will be blocked when determining the route again. This will therefore not be included when determining a new route.
	Create an Excel sheet in the route found. With checkbox: Show sections
	Save the routing found in a cable work that needs to be entered.
	Accept overpass junctions as possible intersection.
	Enter own roads. Cocon will use also these roads to make a new route.
	Remove own roads.

In the "export data first path" field route costs and lengths are presented. Export data for a potential second path can be found in the "export data second path" field.
Administrators will be able to change costs/values in the enter variables field. By pressing the entered variables will be shown. Values entered here will be used in every users calculations for traject routing.
