<p class="MsoNormal"> </p><p class="MsoNormal">I would like to calculate travel time between a central location and a number of point locations (Permanent Monitoring Plots) along a sparse road network. The points do not occur on the roads. My travel time calculation is therefore made up of travel along roads (by car) and walking from the road to the point of interest. I can calculate distance from each point to the nearest road fairly easily, however, calculating the distance from each nearest point to a central location appears to a be a little more difficult. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p><p class="MsoNormal">Is this a job for pgRouting? I have found the following workshop and am happy to work through it provided the application can undertake the tasks I require (<a href="http://workshop.pgrouting.org/index.html">http://workshop.pgrouting.org/index.html</a>).</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p><p class="MsoNormal">Does anyone on the list have experience using this software and will it provide the information I require? </p><p class="MsoNormal"> </p><p class="MsoNormal">Many thanks and kind regards,</p>
