[OSRM-talk] Use OSRM on rivers, railways, power lines

Hi Daniel, Ricardo,

Thank you for your answers.

I completely agree on necessity of perfect connectivity between features.
It has been a concern for me regarding power networks for years of
contribution now.

The challenge is currently to adapt car profile to power lines
Voltage may act as the maxspeed key, and transformers as toll

As you may see in the relation example I gave, there is two substations at
the ends of line members.
Differently from roads or rivers, you can't connect to power lines or
pipelines anywhere. Start and end into substations is mandatory
(power=substation or pipeline=substation, they are both areas)
How can I told osrm to look for the nearest substation before starting
routing in the graph exclusively composed of power lines or pipelines ?

Guidance information isn't so relevant in such networks, then I will only
focus on osrm path answer

François
