Daily Driving Limit for Multiday Trips

🚧 THIS IS A TICKET MIGRATED FROM UPVOTY. The original ticket and comments will be available for a limited time over at:
https://abrp.upvoty.com/b/request-a-feature/daily-driving-limit-for-multiday-trips/
———————————————————————————
I operate a long-distance pet transportation company and plan many multiday, cross-country trips. Can ABRP add a feature that allows the user to select what time they would like to end driving for the day? For example, I set the departure time as 7:00 a.m., but can I set the max trip time for each day to 12 hours, or even select a time that I roughly would like to stop driving for the day and the planner will figure it out? The way it is currently set up, the route planner just assumes that I am driving straight across the country, 24/7 without breaking for the night. I have to download the trip summary to excel, and then manually figure out where my end-of-day stops are located. It is quite time consuming and seems like a simple feature to add. Thoughts?

    Limit day driving for multi-day journeys

    When travelling across large countries or economic regions, journey planning extends to journeys where a night stop over is necessary for safe travel.

    ABRP is able to feature way point is with departure times, however the departure times are absolute rather than relative, ie “next morning, 9am” is not possible unless an overnight charge (even at 0 watts) is included. Please enhance the waypoint controls to allow relative duration stops that can extend across a day.

    Furthermore there is no way to automatically limit travel duration per day, i.e recommending destination / destination charging given travel times rather than continuing to the next DC fast charger. Please enhance the planner to optionally add suggested overnight rest stop “human recharging” in the produced plan.

    Agreed.
