[OSRM-talk] Add costs on route sections.

[Stephen Woodbridge]

Hi Pedro,

The way OSRM works is that you have to prepare the data before 
generating the route. You can probably modify the prepare process by 
writing additions to the LUA scripts it calls. But for large coverage 
areas the prepare step takes a lot of time.

You also mentioned that this is a web based application, so typically 
all web clients have to use the same routing instance which may be ok if 
you application does not expect each web user to be able to have their 
own privately modified graph for routing. For example if the route 
modification is a server process and all web client use the same 
modified graph then you would be ok.

But is each web client can modify the the graph based on their input and 
then expects to solve the graph for a route based on their local 
modifications, you probably don't want to use OSRM, something like 
pgRouting might be more appropriate.

Others on the list can probably offer more detailed suggestions on where 
to look for examples of code to change the graph prepare process. I 
believe some work has been done to support traffic feeds and this sounds 
like it is very similar to that.
