I'm making a web application with leaflet and OSM. It's all going well, but now I need a little help.

I'm searching for a good routing engine, that's capable of creating the most probably taken route based on "checkarea":

I've many points logged every N minutes, and they are not really precise, but their offset should be 400m, average of 200m. I need to know what route has been taken.

I'll explain better:

Example

I've this start A and finish B point. The black line it's like a street map, blue dots are points I calculated and blue circle are areas where it should route. The yellow path it's what the engine should calculate.

I've starting modifying Pyroutelib2, but maybe I'm just reinventing the wheel.

  • Do you know sequence of those blue points? If sequence is determined, then there's nothing to do with Travelling salesman problem.

  • I know the sequence of bluepoints. Better yet, I know the timestamps. My problem is that blue points are not precise, so I cannot set them as waypoints, as for example, point near but not in a motorway will lead the routing to exit from the motorway. I have already searched the salesman problem , before posting this, but it's not my case. Thanks anyway :D

What you should look for is called 'Map Matching'. I've opened sourced my idea based on GraphHopper very recently here so it is still in a VERY early shape, please give feedback via providing data or creating issues etc.

  • Nice idea and nice site! About your suggested improvements, I've two ideas: 1)Overlapping points: when there are points that are near, divide in subtracks: before the overlapping point, the loop, after the overlapping point. 2)Precision: See if the edges are of the same type: if there where highway on point-1 and point+1, and point is near but not touching the motorway, move it a little. Tell me if it's a good idea (may I write you PMs?) Bye!

  • You can just create an issue, not sure if I can follow here :)
