Hi,

sounds interesting.
Do you suggest doing that with or without leaving the
current road-category? I am thinking about things like
telling the driver to move from a primary-road, to a
residential and that wait 10min for a free slot to
join the same primary-road later on again. Clearly in
such a case the driver would throw away his routing-system.

What could be good heuristics when to do such a detour?
