Hi Graham,

Thanks a ton! The Cyclestreets mentors haven't got back to me yet, so
I will go ahead and do as you suggested.

Thanks & Regards
Priyanka

From the sounds of this tweet:

It looks like Cyclestreets are very close to opening up their source code.

Cheers
Chris

wiki for routers or routing.  You should find things like gosmore and

You coold experiment with them to see how they do with cycling or 
walking routing.   There was a gsoc project a couple of years ago to 
calculate the 'hilliness' of routes - you could look at including that 
into the routing algorithm too?   You will have to remember that some 
people will want to go over hills and others avoid them.
The surface of tracks could also be a good parameter for cycle routing 
if existing routers so not use this.


Just a few thoughts so you can work up a gsoc proposal if cyclestreets 
does not get back to you,  or if you would prefer to work on a 
different route calculator.

Pryanka,
If you have not heard from the author of cyclestreets, it would be worth
looking at other OSM routers which are open source.  Search our wiki for
routers or routing.  You should find things like gosmore and osrm.
You coold experiment with them to see how they do with cycling or walking
routing.   There was a gsoc project a couple of years ago to calculate the
'hilliness' of routes - you could look at including that into the routing
algorithm too?   You will have to remember that some people will want to go
over hills and others avoid them.
The surface of tracks could also be a good parameter for cycle routing if
existing routers so not use this.

Just a few thoughts so you can work up a gsoc proposal if cyclestreets does
not get back to you,  or if you would prefer to work on a different route
calculator.

Hi Pryanka,
I had not realised that the router was not currently open source - this
will need to be sorted out to use this as the base for a GSoC project -
hopefully the author of Cyclestreets will sort this very soon?

Graham.

Re: [OSM-talk] GSoC 2012 - Regarding CycleStreets Projects

2012-03-21 Thread Priyanka 
Hi Graham,

Thanks for your mail.

I am interested in the 'CycleStreets 2: Less wiggly routes' project. I
see that the project requires coming up with a reasonable algorithm
that includes the cost of taking a turn, so that the route is less
snaky.

I see that the http://www.cyclestreets.net/developers/projects/ page
reflects that the Routing project would be open-sourced shortly on
GitHub, and can be accessed currently with SVN.

I have several questions, and I would be grateful if someone could answer them:
- Is there a more detailed description of the algorithm being used
currently? Is it similar to the standard Dijkstra's algorithm?

- What should be the essential components of the proposal for this
project, specifically?

- It would be great if I could get SVN access to the source code, so
that I could study it.

Thanks & Regards
Priyanka
