There are differences in history between these two projects. ORS (OpenRouteService) is a project started by University of Heidelberg as a closed-source project in 2010 (?). It was dead between 2012 and 2014, i.e. no data update, no bugfixing because it is a university project. Open Source Routing Machine (OSRM) was started by Dennis Luxen who gained a PhD at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology. Afterwards he worked for Mapbox which now contributes much to OSRM. Summarized: OSRM is a commercial open source project and ORS is a university project. Best regards Michael -- Per E-Mail kommuniziere ich bevorzugt GPG-verschlüsselt.
