Annotation of qmapshack/routino/pkg/DESCR, Revision 1.1
1.1 ! kirby 1: Routino is an application for finding a route between two points using
! 2: the dataset of topographical information collected by
! 3: http://www.OpenStreetMap.org.
! 4:
! 5: This router uses a routing algorithm that takes OSM format data as its
! 6: input and calculates either the shortest or quickest route between two
! 7: points. To optimise the routing a custom database format is used. This
! 8: allows the routing to be performed quickly after a modest one-off
! 9: pre-processing stage.
! 10:
! 11: A selection is possible for any of the major OSM transport types and for
! 12: each of the main OSM highway types a preference can be provided and a
! 13: speed limit. Restrictions on one-way streets, weight, height, width and
! 14: length are also options. Further preferences about road properties (e.g.
! 15: paved or not) can also be selected.
! 16:
! 17: The processing of the input XML file is based on rules in a
! 18: configuration file that transform the highway tags into tags that are
! 19: understood by Routino. The generation of the output files (HTML and GPX)
! 20: uses language fragments selected from another configuration file which
! 21: allows multi-lingual output from the same database.
! 22:
! 23: The router takes into account private/public/permissive restrictions on
! 24: highways as well as tagged speed limits and barriers (gates, bollards).
! 25: The simplest and most common turn restriction relations (those composed
! 26: of a way, node and way) are also supported.
