OpenRouter

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

Relevant Existing Open Source Technologies

• pgRouting
• GRASS GIS v.net.* modules see:
  • http://grass.osgeo.org/grass63/manuals/html63_user/v.net.path.html
  • http://grass.osgeo.org/grass63/manuals/html63_user/v.net.salesman.html

  • http://grass.osgeo.org/grass63/manuals/html63_user/v.net.visibility.html

Target Licensing

• Preference for a liberal license to encourage adoption by maximum number of technologies both proprietary and open source
