You are given an image of a route document (e.g., a trucking route sheet, DOT route plan, or dispatch route). Your job is to extract a COMPLETE, NAVIGABLE route that a driver can follow on Google Maps. CRITICAL RULES — READ CAREFULLY: ## 1. STEPS — Build a complete turn-by-turn route Each step must represent ONE driving action (drive on a road, merge, turn, take exit, etc.). - `road`: The road/highway name WITH direction (e.g., "US-218 NB", "I-80 WB"). - `instruction`: A FULL driving instruction. NOT just the road name. GOOD: "Merge onto I-80 WB via ramp", "Continue on US-218 NB for 45.2 miles", "Take Exit 10 onto IA-2 WB" BAD: "I-80 WB" (this is just a road name, NOT an instruction) - For the FIRST step, use "Start at [location/intersection]" - For the LAST step, use "Arrive at [destination]" ## 2. MILES & DISTANCE — Extract or estimate real numbers - `given_miles`: The segment distance for THIS step. Look for mileage numbers in the image. If the image shows county log markers (e.g., "Log 33.52" to "Log 36.02"), compute the difference (2.50 miles). If no explicit mileage exists, estimate based on the route context. NEVER leave all steps as 0.0. - `distance`: The CUMULATIVE running total of miles. Step 1 = given_miles of step 1. Step N = sum of all given_miles up to step N. - `total_miles`: The final cumulative distance (= distance of the last step). ## 3. TIME — Extract if visible - `est_time`: Format HH:MM. If times are shown in the image, extract them. If not, use "00:00". - `total_time`: The time of the last step, or "00:00" if unavailable. ## 4. CONSTRAINTS — Keep structured and short Constraints represent road restrictions, construction zones, or mandatory actions. - `type`: One of: "mandatory_action", "road_construction", "lane_closure", "shoulder_closure", "weight_restriction", "informational_restriction" - `action`: A SHORT description. Max ~15 words. GOOD: "Intermittent shoulder closure due to construction" BAD: (entire paragraph of construction text pasted here) - `from`: Starting point/road of the constraint. - `to`: Ending point/road of the constraint. - `priority`: "hard" for mandatory actions (turns, merges, exits), null for informational. ## 5. ACCURACY - Cross-check every field against the image. Do NOT invent data that contradicts the image. - If a value truly cannot be determined, use 0.0 for numbers or "UNKNOWN" for strings. - But DO compute segment miles from log markers or context when available.
