[Routing] house numbers

[Siegfried Jetzke]

Dear members,

I'm new to this list and don't know wether my question already has been 
discussed several times or not. If yes, please send me some link to the 
place where I can find it.

I do have an academic and commercial background and I'm working on route 
planing. In former projects I used commercial data, e.g. those from 
teleatlas.
For a new project that started some time ago, I want to see wether we 
can use OSM.
My question is the following: I get an address, like 38159 Vechelde, 
Brinkstr. 4b. I consider each street as a list of road elements and each 
road element as a pair of two edges, one left and one right edge.

To use this address within my application I do need to know the edge to 
which this address belongs. It would be "nice" to know approximately the 
distance of this address from one of the nodes, defining the edge. I'm 
not interested in the coordinates of the address.

I found that "interpolation" gives exactly the information I need but 
that this will not longer be supported.

Can anyone give me some hint how to find the edge belonging to one address?

Thanks in advance

Siegfried
