freemap-routing

Routing engine used in freemap. It is a OSRM with custom foot and bicycle profiles. Homepage is routing.epsilon.sk and it can be used at www.freemap.sk

Backend is currently available at https://routing.epsilon.sk port 443.

To use at your website, have a look at LRM

install

• run upgrade.sh in your $osrmdir (the last step needs to run as root)
• create a PostGIS database, with access to schema public for a user
  • create a PostGIS function getz(point), which returns elevation of the point
• after you've built the data, run deploy from daemon-scripts as root (it will install rc script for the daemon)
• for your convenience, set up reverse proxy in your http daemon

build

• adapt library.sh to download your region from server, like http://download.geofabrik.de
• change directories in library.sh

Features

profiles

• foot profile: for urban walking and rural hiking
• bicycle: city and trekking bicycle
• car: default OSRM configuration
• train, bus: special profiles for public transport routing
• ski: downhill skiing using skilifts, gondolas and pistes
• nordic: nordic skiing on piste:type=nordic

common features

• all standard features done by OSRM plus:
• take elevation into account (uphill is slower than downhill; uphill is avoided if possible)
• route over highways that are relations only
• preference of hiking/cycle routes: prefer ways that are a part of relations

foot profile features

• avoid footways close to major roads (this makes generation of graf data very slow)
• avoid ways in industrial areas
• prefer ways in forrest
• prefer ways close to touristic attractions
