Open Source Router
For those not familiar with the concept, routing provides the path between two locations. Often there can be criteria considered such as time, cost, and so forth.
Project Purpose
The intention of this project is to work towards creation of open source software providing routing capability.
Design goals
Desired attributes:
- Library Coded in C (or C wrapper to C++)
- Architected and designed for performance
- Abstracted storage to allow for use of data from various sources e.g. shapefiles, RDBMS, others
- Support multiple subject-matter domains, outside of transportation, such as utility and telecom networks
