I am trying to write an SQL that calculates all points at a given distance from a point within a network (most likely the wrong term) where the network is stored in a PostgreSQL/PostGIS database as geography objects.

To try to simplify the problem I have created a network of MultilineStrings (as I get multilinestring from the database):

"MULTILINESTRING((-3395658.95218449 9999999.63159823,-3395629.87976969 9999999.12378312))"
"MULTILINESTRING((-3395640.58204213 9999999.31072238,-3395605.60319134 10000047.4596158))"
"MULTILINESTRING((-3395629.87976969 9999999.12378312,-3395601.369858 9999960.94086569))"
"MULTILINESTRING((-3395654.02194139 9999999.54548045,-3395654.02194139 9999977.87419904))"
"MULTILINESTRING((-3395654.02194139 9999977.87419904,-3395568.2969413 9999977.87419904))"
"MULTILINESTRING((-3395591.32900369 9999977.87419904,-3395591.58027466 10000017.8262824))"

"MULTILINESTRING((-3395608.51010251 9999999.30544906,-3395608.51360801 10000016.5033657))"
"MULTILINESTRING((-3395591.46379143 9999999.30544906,-3395567.93313922 9999999.33852198))"
"MULTILINESTRING((-3395582.44960782 9999999.31830406,-3395582.22063923 9999985.58018863))"
"MULTILINESTRING((-3395658.95218449 9999999.63159823,-3395684.61438934 9999974.46768862))"
"MULTILINESTRING((-3395637.01606056 9999977.94918962,-3395637.25397262 9999992.45935531))"
"MULTILINESTRING((-3395625.67040625 10000019.9754834,-3395672.70813933 10000020.5051887))"

with a starting point @ -3395649.31,9999999.42 trying to find distances 50m away.

This should give a layout like below, where the green point is the starting point and the red points are the ones I would like to calculate: enter image description here

Note: if while following a path and I hit a dead-end I would do a 180 and keep going till I reach the distance and at intersection split and follow each new path.

i.e: enter image description here

Some errors in the data I have found so far, Not all lines intersect where they should be an intersection, so I also need to work out a way to extend lines to make them intersect when following a path (normally the end/start of the line in within 500mm).

I have converted my data set to topology and noded with pgrouting (@geozelot pointed me to pgrouting), what I'm still missing is how to add a starting point to the existing noded data to do the calculations from?

enter image description here

SQL for noded data set if it helps:

CREATE TABLE public.gis_test_noded (
    id bigint NOT NULL,
    old_id integer,
    sub_id integer,
    source bigint,
    target bigint,
    cost double precision DEFAULT 0,
    geom public.geometry(LineString,32755)
);

COPY public.gis_test_noded (id, old_id, sub_id, source, target, cost, geom) FROM stdin;

  • Thanks @geozelot, I have read up a little on prgrouting and have converted the test data to the formats it needs, I believe I should be using pgr_drivingDistance but I'm struggling in starting from my startpoint and node the closest node, is the a way to add the startnode in to the noded dataset?

  • Look into pgr_withPointsDD of the still proposed, but supported withPoints - Family of functions - note that, in order to refer to the pids of the points_sql as start/end vertices, you'd have to prefix the actual values with - (minus) in the function call! See gis.stackexchange.com/questions/377630/…

With using pgr_withPointDD and from: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/51572251/how-to-get-a-road-path-which-can-be-travelled-in-10-minutes-from-a-location I came up with:

WITH
  dd AS (
    SELECT pg.node,
           pg.edge,
           pg.cost
    FROM pgr_withPointsDD(
        'SELECT id, source, target, cost FROM gis_test_noded ORDER BY id',
        'WITH 
                start_vertex AS (
                        SELECT ST_SetSRID(ST_MakePoint(-3395649.31, 9999999.42), 32755) AS pt
                ),
                nearest_line AS (
                        SELECT id, ST_Distance(geom, start_vertex.pt)
                        FROM gis_test_noded, start_vertex
                        ORDER BY 2 ASC LIMIT 1
                ),
                new_vertex AS (
                        SELECT nearest_line.id AS edge_id, ST_LineLocatePoint(gis_test_noded.geom, start_vertex.pt) as fraction
                        FROM gis_test_noded, start_vertex, nearest_line
                        WHERE gis_test_noded.id = nearest_line.id
                )
        SELECT edge_id, fraction FROM new_vertex',
        -1, 50,
        directed := false) AS pg
  ),
  dd_edgs AS (
    SELECT edg.id,
           edg.geom
    FROM gis_test_noded AS edg
    JOIN dd AS d1
      ON edg.source = d1.node
    JOIN dd AS d2
      ON edg.target = d2.node
  ),
  dd_ext AS (
    SELECT edg.id,
             CASE
               WHEN dd.node = edg.source
                  THEN ST_LineInterpolatePoint(edg.geom, (50 - dd.cost) / 50)
                  ELSE ST_LineInterpolatePoint(edg.geom, 1 - ((50 - dd.cost) / 50))
             END AS geom
    FROM dd
    JOIN gis_test_noded AS edg
      ON dd.node IN (edg.source, edg.target) AND edg.id NOT IN (SELECT id FROM dd_edgs)
  )

SELECT id,
       geom
FROM dd_ext;

which gives me:

"id" "geom"
5 "0101000020F37F0000603305E60FE849C18543AF2DD4126341"
24 "0101000020F37F0000283E115E20E849C17AEA8687D2126341"
23 "0101000020F37F0000B2A626961AE849C1012FC670CE126341"
7 "0101000020F37F00008990B6090CE849C19541823DCC126341"
10 "0101000020F37F0000F95B28AE09E849C14470F93BCD126341"

enter image description here

Where -1 green dot is the starting point, yellow dots are the calculated endpoints and red dots are where I would have expected to see a yellow. But for now this answers my original question of what type of SQL I would need with the added help of using pgrouting.
