[OSRM-talk] ferry routing problem

A couple of things I'm seeing here:


The ferry does not have a duration tag so you will get default speeds; you
could add duration data to
http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/81817423#map=17/46.69224/7.90466&layers=D

The default profiles set speed for ferries but they do not (yet) modify
weights for ferries; you can set realistic speeds and independently change
routing weights now; see
https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/happygo/diary/40564

Related: we optimize on weight and not on speed; even though the road could
be faster it can have a high weight penalty on it; check weight responses
in http://project-osrm.org/docs/v5.10.0/api/#result-objects


Hope that helps,
Daniel J H
