Hello,
I am implementing osrm-backend for pedestrian (foot) routing. I have successfully built with foot.lua profile (modified to include trunk roads <https://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/334189/osrm-foot-walking-profile-avoiding-trunk-roads/334190#334190>) ..and am having a working osrm-frontend instance up to get results for various inputs. I'm running into a problem regarding buildings / premises. In osrm-frontend, if the destination point is not on a known path, then there is a translucent gap line drawn between the end of the blue route line and the marked destination location. I'd like to know if there is a technical term for this gap, and where in the osrm code / config can we tinker with it. *Example scenario:* Destination location is inside a building / premises. *Result 1:* Road distance = 300m, gap = about 20m If I move the destination marker by just a few meters in, then osrm is drawing a completely different route going all the way around. Now the result given is: *Result 2:* Road distance = 1000m, gap = about 10m Please see this screenshot with both the results shown: http://nikhilvj.co.in/files/osm/osrm-pedestrian-gap-1.png So here we have a problem. I have weighted my .lua profile by distance. (changed `weight_name='duration'` to `weight_name='distance'` in foot.lua) Giving result with minimum on-road walking distance is top priority for my use case - entering in at the right point in the premises is not. I would rather have the pedestrian walk a few extra meters inside the premises, than having them walk an extra 700m of road (more than double the actual). It would have also been fine if the alternative paths (light blue on frontend) had the shorter route with a longer gap, but even that goes away here and the alternatives given are only worse. I can't find any documentation for what to call this gap or how to affect it via the .lua profile etc. I'm guessing that the router is prioritizing this gap over all else ; hence it is not considering the fact that the route distance is changing by a whopping amount. So what I want to do with my osrm-backend build: - Make the router ignore the gap and simply prioritize by route distance over all else. OR: - Add the gap length to the route length when doing prioritization. I can understand that doing this would make the router not work for other applications, hence I only want to customize my own instance to fit my use case scenario. Looking for some help on this matter. I can share the url's of my osrm instances privately if someone needs for testing. If it's not part of the standard options (I'm guessing not), even then if someone can point me to where the relevant code is, or what is the variable/function name of this gap, then I can take a crack at it myself. Thanks, and kudos to the programmers that made this amazing tool possible. The speed and performance is fantastic I'll add. -- Cheers, Nikhil VJ, Pune, India https://nikhilvj.co.in
