Real-Time Truck Availability API for Freight Platforms | Intugine

The hardest part of running a freight marketplace isn't building the load board. It's knowing which trucks are actually available, actually near the origin, and actually willing to move on the lane — right now.

Intugine's Truck Availability API provides real-time vehicle availability intelligence for freight platforms. Coverage of 7 million+ commercial vehicles across India. No device installation required. Lane-wise availability, intracity/intercity classification, and return-leg probability — all via API.

What Does the Truck Availability API Return?

For any origin city or region submitted to the API, Intugine returns a ranked list of available vehicles with:

Vehicle Details

Vehicle registration number, type (20ft, 24ft, 32ft SXL, 32ft MXL, trailer, tanker)

Axle configuration and payload capacity

VAHAN compliance status (RC validity, fitness, permit)

Location & Proximity

Current approximate position (derived from SIM or FASTag)

Distance from your specified origin point

Last update timestamp

Availability Classification

Available at origin (vehicle is within pickup radius, no active trip)

Return-leg available (vehicle completed delivery near destination, seeking back-load)

Intercity vs intracity classification

Return-Leg Probability Score

Probability (0-100) that the vehicle will accept a load on your lane

Transporter Profile

Transporter entity linked to the vehicle

Lane-specific reliability score and on-time delivery rate

The Coverage Advantage: 7M+ Vehicles Without Device Installation

Most vehicle tracking systems only cover trucks that have a GPS device or app installed. Intugine's Discovery API achieves national coverage through data fusion — not device dependency:

SIM-based tracking: TRAI-compliant mobile number location for SIM-equipped trucks. No app required.

FASTag intelligence: Any commercial vehicle that passed through a national or state highway toll plaza in the last 30-90 days has a FASTag position record in Intugine's system.

Network effect: As more enterprise shippers and freight platforms use Intugine, more vehicles get tracked — expanding coverage organically.

Intracity vs Intercity Classification API

Before surfacing trucks to your users, you need to know whether they actually operate on your lanes.

Intracity indicators: No intercity toll scans in last 60 days. Typical trip distance < 80km. Vehicle type consistent with city distribution.

Intercity indicators: Regular national highway toll scan history. Typical trip distance > 200km. Home region identifiable from FASTag origin patterns.

This classification prevents your platform from surfacing the wrong type of vehicle to shippers.

Return-Leg Probability Scoring

Return-leg trucks are the highest-value supply for any freight marketplace — completing intercity deliveries with strong incentive to accept back-loads, typically faster and at lower rates.

Intugine's return-leg probability score factors in:

Current position relative to the vehicle's home region

Recent FASTag scan pattern (heading towards or away from home base?)

Historical return-leg acceptance rate for this transporter

Time since last delivery

A score of 80+ indicates high probability of quick acceptance.
