Route planning finds a path. Route intelligence determines if that path can be executed safely, legally, and defensibly.
**Route Planning** answers: "How do I get from A to B?"
It focuses on: - Navigation and directions - Distance and time estimates - Basic road network analysis
**Route Intelligence** answers: "Can THIS load travel THIS route safely, legally, and with documentation that protects me?"
It adds: - Load-specific constraint analysis - Field-verified measurements - Regulatory compliance verification - Defensible documentation - Auditable decision records
The distinction matters because: - A planned route may be legally impossible - A legal route may be physically infeasible - A feasible route may leave you exposed without documentation
Route intelligence closes these gaps.
