Annotation of qmapshack/routino/pkg/DESCR, Revision 1.1.1.1
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.
