Is there a method/way to obtain location information of vehicle using LTE Module? - gps

I am new to the concepts of GPS, GNSS and LTE and wanted to understand the following part of it:
Currently I am looking whether there is a possibility of obtaining location details of the vehicle without utilizing GNSS receiver, but only through parameters like LAC, Cell ID, MCC etc
Request to help me understand more about this.
Thank you,

Does anyone know of a global tax rate API that includes all countries?

I was wondering if anyone can help me?
I have been searching for an API for merchant tax rates that includes all countries. I need to be able to state and apply any and all tax rates from one country to another but am having some difficulty finding one that fits the criteria.
The selling/dispatch destination needs to be able to be customisable/changeable and I need to be able to choose any country I want sell to.
The API needs to be compatible with PHP 7.
I have tried looking for an API that covers this but the only one I found and reached out to has not replied and it has been a while since the first request.
Thanks

create field55, set token or pan

I create Field55 to make emv transaction from NFC-terminal, all work fine but it's need to set by what method user make pay: token (Apple/Google Pay) or by physical card (pan). I know how to get it when read payment but, but can not find which tag in filed55 responsible for this information. If anyone know - please help. Thanks!
It's a little hard to understand what you are doing. Card emulation on tokenized wallet transactions in face to face interface produces exactly the same data as for any other card. If you are trying to produce face to face transactions from ecommerce tokens - it's not possible as this will generate in best case a 3DS cryptogram, not EMV data (with an irrelevant exception).
Can you maybe explain better what you are trying to achieve?

VIN decoder api

I know this is not a question to ask here, but we have googled for hours and cannot find what we need.
What we need is a company that has an API that we can use to find information about new vehicles.
We transport new vehicles (europe only) and I have written a recognition based on the VIN number, which works well, but only for 3 brands.
Now we will soon be working for other brands also, so I want to buy this information in stead of developing it ourself again.
What we need is an API where we can drop a VIN number, and it will return us
the brand
the model
the dimensions (height, length and width)
the type of fuell
this is the minimal info than we need.
I need to use this API from a c# project.
The vehicles are for the European market, so sites that return American model names cannot be used here. (nhtsa is not an option because of this)
It does not have to be free, we are willing to pay if not too expensive
Does anybody knows where I need to be for this ?

On-Demand Flight Status | Gate Information not working

using the Java SDK, trying to use the On-Demand Flight Status API will result in following error, if a Gate is specified:
java.lang.IllegalStateException: Expected BEGIN_ARRAY but was BEGIN_OBJECT at path $[0].flightPoints[0].departure.gate
From the documentation I assume that gate should be a JSONObject with the mainGate attribute, but apparently it has been encoded as a JSONArray in the SDK.
I would be grateful about some feedback on this. Maybe I am doing something wrong?
Thanks!
P.S.
If I may add some suggestions:
Would it be possible to make segments.partnership return the flight number of the operating carrier, if the search is done with a codeshare flight? Currently it seems to just return 0, if a codeshare flight number is entered. (e.g. searching for A37136 will return OA0, instead of OA136). Also, it would be great if segments.partnership was to return all codeshare flight numbers for particular flight, and not only one.
The possibility to access fare rules from Flight Offers would be great as well. I understand that displaying fares between two cities is a feature of the Enterprise API (which I probably am not eligible to use), but it would be great to be able to see data, such as Travel and Sales restrictions like these:
VALID FOR TRAVEL COMMENCING ON/AFTER 20SEP 21 AND ON/BEFORE 10MAR 22.
TICKETS MUST BE ISSUED ON/BEFORE 29SEP 21.
As always, thank you for your work!
Below you can find the answers on the topics mentioned in your questions:
Java SDK - gate info not working
Thanks for the report, we've opened the issue on GitHub where you can track its status.
Flight Fare rules
The fare rules can be found for each flight with the Flight Offers Price API where you would have to add the query parameter include=detailed-fare-rules your URL, such as:
https://test.api.amadeus.com/v1/shopping/flight-offers/pricing?include=detailed-fare-rules
Operating carrier in codeshare flight
Indeed with the specific flight doesn't return properly the operating carrier flight number, however, we tested it with other codeshare flights and it worked fine. It seems that the issue is coming directly from the providers and the data they share.
Return all codeshare flight numbers
This is not possible from the legal point of view, as it means it would expose the partnerships and private business between the airlines.

Google Map Directions API Optimize Waypoint and Force Waypoint Order

I am having difficulty in overcoming the situation I am facing. I have a route as follow:
StartPoint
WayPoint A-1 <--- Pickup
WayPoint A-2 <--- Dropoff
WayPoint B-1 <--- Pickup
WayPoint B-2 <--- Dropoff
WayPoint C-1 <--- Pickup
WayPoint C-2 <--- Dropoff
EndPoint
A bus is starting to drive from Start Point and it is supposed to pick 3 passengers up (A, B, C) and drop them off in different locations. The locations are not static and it changes based on passenger.
If I pass all these to google map directions api and set the OptimizeWaypoint option to true the issue that occurs is sometimes the dropoff waypoint occurs before pickup waypoint for a passenger due to route optimization.
Does anyone know a solution to force google map api route optimization to always have pickup before the dropoff for each passenger please?
I appreciate all your help in advance guys.
I have found a solution to my problem after 3 days of research. The solution is not through Google Map API and it's using a third party API called RouteXL. They are providing an API which does such this thing I am looking for. Here is the link to documentation although their documentation is not clearly documented but it has helped me to work it out.
https://www.routexl.nl/blog/api/?lang=en#post-tour
The function which I needed was the Tour Post and that does what I exactly needed.
If anyone needs any help on this I am happy to help.
I hope this helps everyone else.
Thank you all for the help.
The waypoint optimization feature in Google Maps is limited to basic travelling salesmen scenarios in which all the waypoints are re-ordered to find the optimal route. What you are looking to do falls under the category of Vehicle Routing problem, more precisely the Vehicle Routing Problem with pickup and delivery. Google doesn't provide a service for this. However, there are some open source algorithm available for this. Here are a few:
https://github.com/pgRouting/pgrouting/wiki/VRP%20Pickup%20Delivery%20Problem
https://github.com/graphhopper/jsprit
https://github.com/mck-/Open-VRP
Most of these use straight line distances to generate a distance matrix between your locations which are then used within the algorithm. For better accuracy you may want to use a distance matrix service that based on travel time. For even more accuracy you may want to take a look at the Bing Maps distance matrix service which also provides the option to generate a distance matrix over a period of time intervals for a day which would fluctuate based on predictive traffic conditions.
