<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><div><div>Hi Daniel,<br><br></div>Thanks for your reply.<br></div>I have tried OSRM and identified several issues need to be solved in order to make it useful for my project.<br></div>It would be grateful if I can have any hints, advice or inspiration.<br><br>For (1), I am currently focusing on the route points(geometry) and so it may not be a problem yet.<br><br>For (2), I will certainly need to match to certain level. And also need to have level information in api response so that I will be able to figure out what level of certain route point is on. I have not read the OSRM-backend source code yet. Will it be very difficult to implement that?<br><br></div>Thanks again,<br><br></div>C.C.Tang<br><div><div><br>On Tue, Feb 16, 2016 at 2:38 PM Daniel Patterson <<a href="mailto:daniel@mapbox.com">daniel@mapbox.com</a>> wrote:<br><div><div><div><div><div><div><div class="gmail_quote"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div style="word-wrap:break-word">Hi C.C.Tang,<div><br></div><div> You will almost certainly need to modify the foot.lua profile. I have not really looked at the indoor tagging before, but it seems like there are lots of tags that will be used that the current foot profile does not know about.</div><div><br></div><div> For (1), I mean that there is no support for indoor-specific words in the instructions returned in the "viaroute" response. It knows about things like "turn left on X street", but it does not know about indoor instructions like "take the third door on your left", or "take the elevator to the 3rd floor".</div><div><br></div><div> For (2), you are correct - the current nearest-neighbor match is 2D only, it does not know about elevation. Support for this would need to be added if you wanted to match to certain levels.</div><div><br></div><div> In addition, routing on OSM areas is currently limited to routing around the edges - see <a href="https://github.com/Project-OSRM/osrm-backend/issues/64" target="_blank">https://github.com/Project-OSRM/osrm-backend/issues/64</a></div><div><br></div><div> Overall, I'm sure you can make it work, but I think OSRM is currently missing a few important features for it to work really well.</div></div><div style="word-wrap:break-word"><div><br></div><div>daniel</div></div><div style="word-wrap:break-word"><div><br><div><blockquote type="cite"><div>On Feb 15, 2016, at 9:10 PM, C.C.Tang <<a href="mailto:hiyorin+osm@gmail.com" target="_blank">hiyorin+osm@gmail.com</a>> wrote:</div><br><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div>Hi Daniel,<br><br></div>Many thanks for your reply.<br><br></div>I am going to try and see if it works.<br></div>But I come up with several new questions after reading your response:<br><br>1.<br></div>>> like "take the stairs" and "take the elevator to the Nth floor".<br></div>Do you mean I need to work around it by tagging staris and elevator differently in order to route between levels?<br></div>Or a custom profile is needed?<br><br>2.<br></div>While the indoor data will very likely to have several overlapping area defined on different level, will OSRM have difficulties determining the correct source/destination node when a query is being processed?<br><br></div>Many thanks,<br></div>C.C.Tang<br><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><br><div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr">On Tue, Feb 16, 2016 at 11:57 AM Daniel Patterson <<a href="mailto:daniel@mapbox.com" target="_blank">daniel@mapbox.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div style="word-wrap:break-word"><div>Hi,</div><div><br></div><div> While it can work in theory, OSRM is missing some of the indoor-specific guidance that you will need for changing levels, like "take the stairs" and "take the elevator to the Nth floor". We are working on a big refactor at the moment that might improve this, but I don't know if anyone has put a lot of thought into it at the moment.</div><div><br></div><div> The first thing to do would be to give it a go and see if the results are acceptable. Add the ways you need to OSM, then use the foot.lua profile and make sure the indoor tags are included in the routing graph.</div><div><br></div><div>daniel</div><br><div><blockquote type="cite"></blockquote></div></div><div style="word-wrap:break-word"><div><blockquote type="cite"><div>On Feb 15, 2016, at 7:27 PM, C.C.Tang <<a href="mailto:hiyorin+osm@gmail.com" target="_blank">hiyorin+osm@gmail.com</a>> wrote:</div><br></blockquote></div></div><div style="word-wrap:break-word"><div><blockquote type="cite"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><div><div><div>Dear List Moderator,<br><br></div><div>Please kindly ignore my previous post having the same mail subject.
