Short answer

How can I calculate route costs using my AI?

Paste a route polyline from your mapping service into your chat. Your AI uses TollGuru to pull specific toll, fuel, and driver costs for that exact path. You'll get a line-item breakdown of every expense.

The results you get

Where your data lands

The AI processes the polyline and organizes the data into these categories.

EXPENSES

Detailed cost breakdown

The AI extracts specific toll fees, fuel consumption estimates, and driver wages. You get a clear view of what that specific trip actually costs.

LOGISTICS

Route specifics

The AI identifies the exact toll roads and specific charges encountered along the polyline. This helps you verify if the route is actually efficient.

DECISIONS

Budgeting accuracy

Use the calculated totals to adjust your quotes or internal budgets. The AI provides the numbers you need to make a call.

HUMAN

Final route approval

The AI provides the data, but you decide if the cost justifies the route. You remain in control of the final dispatch or planning decision.

The workflow

What your AI does when the polyline arrives.

The AI handles the heavy lifting of data extraction so you don't have to manually check toll maps.

  1. Receive polyline

    Your AI takes the raw polyline string provided by your mapping tool.

    calculate_toll_from_polyline

  2. Calculate costs

    The AI runs the polyline through the toll calculation engine to find every fee.

    calculate_toll_from_polyline

  3. Aggregate data

    The AI combines toll data with fuel and driver estimates for a total cost.

    calculate_toll_from_polyline

  4. Present results

    The AI formats the final numbers into a readable list in your chat window.

FAQ

How this task behaves

  • 01

    Can the AI change the route itself?

    No. The AI only analyzes the specific polyline you provide. It cannot modify the path or suggest new turns.

  • 02

    Does the AI handle the actual toll payments?

    No. The AI only calculates the estimated costs. You must handle all actual payments through your existing tolling services.

  • 03

    What kind of data do I need to provide?

    You need to provide a valid polyline string from a mapping service.

  • 04

    Can I use this for any vehicle type?

    The accuracy of the cost depends on the parameters provided in the polyline and the tool's logic.

  • 05

    Will the AI save my route history?

    The AI only processes the data you send in the current session. It does not store your routes in a permanent database.
