I actually edited duration out of my OSRM route profile because it<br />gave misleading results for cycling - the router would often head for the<br />nearest long-distance ferry, since ferries are often quicker than cycling,<br />even if that ferry only ran once a week!<br /><br />cheers<br />Richard<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />--<br />View this message in context: <a href="http://gis.19327.n5.nabble.com/Ferry-frequency-tp5780010p5780156.html">http://gis.19327.n5.nabble.com/Ferry-frequency-tp5780010p5780156.html</a><br />Sent from the Tagging mailing list archive at <a href="http://Nabble.com">Nabble.com</a>.<br /><br /><hr /><br />Tagging mailing list<br />Tagging@openstreetmap.org<br /><a

The routing algorithm needs to take into account the day of the week, and what time it will be when you reach a point with time-dependent restrictions, or only intermittent service (such as a bus or ferry).<br>
