Hi List, www.OpenRouteService.org now supports Bicycle Routing with OSM Data
www.OpenRouteService.org (ORS) offers not only pedestrian and fastest and shortes routing based on the OpenGIS Open Location Service specifications (OGC OpenLS), but also bicycle routing for the whole of Germany. The OpenStreetMap data needs to be preprocessed a big deal in order to calculate a topological street network valid for routing. This processing generates currently about 2 million street segements for Germany (from originally about 900.000 streets). The routing is now based on the A-star algorithm and which improved the performance in spite of the increasing data. Further extensions are in work and planned. Currently the following keys are used for car routing: - highway with value = motorway, motorway_link, trunk, trunk_link, primary, primary_link, secondary, tertiary, unclassified, residential, service/access=yes and living_street - motorcar=yes/no - oneway - junction Currently the following keys are used for pedestrian routing: - highway with value = all car highway values (without motorway/-link), track, service, bridleway, cycleway, footway, pedestrian and steps - foot=yes/no Currently the following keys are used for bycycle routing: - highway with value = all car highway values (without motorway/-link), track, service, bridleway, cycleway, pedestrian and footway - bicycle=yes/no - work in progress: tracktype Of course there are other combinations and possbilities and we are evaluating those, but this shall serve as a first start ... We are interested in your feedback! So far the service is restricted to Germany only, we will add more later.
