- buro9 13y agoThat's surprisingly good. As in; for a complex route across London and factoring in one-way streets it produces something that looks realistic. Only allowed me to pick car as a mode of transport, and unrealistically suggested I could get across 14KM of central London in 14 mins, but ignoring those things this is very nice. Would love to see the path output of this added to Leaflet and a standard form of API emerge for Mapbox, Cloudmade, Google Maps, etc.
- ManAboutCouch 13y agoI believe that other transport modes (public transport, on foot) are in the pipeline, but the amount of additional compute power they need is significant Also Public Transport route and connectivity information is frequently a bit patchy in OSM, but this is steadily improving.
- Doctor_Fegg 13y agoI, ahem, might be working on a UK cycling router using OSRM ;)
- ManAboutCouch 13y agoHave you seen CycleStreets: http://www.cyclestreets.net/ http://www.cyclestreets.net/
- Doctor_Fegg 13y agoYep. It's great. This one will aim at a different market, really.
- urbanbiker 13y agoInteresting. What other market is there though? They do different confidences of cyclists and leisure routes already?
- buro9 13y agoYou probably want to be talking to me... I run http://www.lfgss.com http://www.lfgss.com and am building community software to run cycling forums. Email in my profile... that is, if you think we're your market.
- tommorris 13y agoI used OSRM a while back for a longish car trip. Worked great. Adding public transport, cycling etc. would be fantastic.
- blocktuw 13y agoYou should look into OpenTripPlanner by OpenPlans, they have built a multi-modal routing engine that can account for GTFS public data feeds as well as combining walking/cycling/public transit together to for a single route.
