BBOX Routing Service

Routing services with Contraction Hierarchy.

Features:

• OGC API - Routes - Part 1: Core

• Multiple search APIs

  • OGC API route requests
  • Basic from/to requests
  • Valhalla API compatible requests

• Builtin storage backends: PostGIS, GeoPackage

• Extract routing graphs from OSM planet files

Configuration

GeoPackage line geometry table:

[[routing.service]]
profile = "railway"
gpkg = "../assets/railway-test.gpkg"
table = "flows"
geom = "geom"

PostGIS Edge/Vertices tables:

# Node search distance
search_dist = 0.01
# Edge table
table = "rail_arcs"
# Node/Vertices table
node_table = "rail_arcs_vertices_pgr"
# Geometry column
geom = "geom"
# Node ID column in node table
node_id = "id"
# Cost column
cost = "cost"
# Column with source node ID
node_src = "source"
# Column with destination (target) node ID
node_dst = "target"

This assumes tables created e.g. with PgRouting pgr_createTopology.

The contraction hierarchy is created on first startup and stored as cache files named .graph.bin and .nodes.bin

Usage

Request examples:

curl -s -X 'POST' \
  'http://localhost:8080/routes?mode=sync' \
  -H 'accept: application/geo+json' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{
  "name": "Route from A to B",
  "waypoints": {
    "type": "MultiPoint",
    "coordinates": [
      [9.35213353, 47.0935012],
      [9.3422712, 47.1011887]
    ]
  },
