Perplexity

Calculate Tolls from Raw GPS Tracks

Use `calculate_tolls_by_gps` to process raw trip logs. You feed it a post-trip GPS track, and it calculates the exact tolls incurred. This is essential for reconciling mileage reports or analyzing fleet data without manual entry. It handles the complexity of map matching automatically, giving you reliable toll costs even if the original tracking wasn't perfect.

Determine Toll Rates by Location

Need to know what a specific booth charges? `get_toll_rates` lets your AI client look up current rates for any plaza or toll point. This is useful before planning routes, ensuring the estimates you provide are accurate. Plus, if you need an overview of how much data usage costs, use `get_transaction_count` to monitor your API account's activity.

Toll Cost Analysis by Address

`calculate_tolls_by_address` takes two simple starting and ending points. The tool calculates both the toll costs and estimated fuel expenses, supporting various vehicle types for accuracy. This makes it easy to give a PM or client an immediate, comprehensive cost estimate without leaving your local development environment.
