[OSRM-talk] SafestWay: OSRM + OSM = Making walking safer, one step at a time.

[Jeffrey Mealo]

Emil,

Thanks for the reply.

I'm trying to figure out a way to store between 12 to 24 crime "speeds"
which will take into account when the crime occurred. That way you can find
a route to and from school based on when you will be walking.

I saw in several parts of the routing that speed is multiplied by distance.
I was wondering if it'd be possible to take additional route parameters in
(the current time) and try to store crime weights.

I'm not sure if it's possible to fit that amount of information into the
current field used for speed, or if I could  make modifications to the data
files.

If this sounds difficult. I could also make a utility to change just the
speeds in the road network and run 12-24 routed processes (not a long term
solution; given I want this to be easy to deploy and have modest hardware
requirements).

I realize that the algorithm calculates the *shortest *routes ahead of
time. This doesn't limit the ability to add in weighting and other factors
during routing, does it?

Regards,

Jeffrey Mealo
