AW: [pgrouting-dev] General question for understanding

[Hens,Markus M.]

Hi Daniel,

thank you for the information. I understand these informations but I have one more question.

If I have a node for example a bridge with an attribute for height and my vehicle is higher I would like to set the cost very high for the node.
My question is if it is possible to set cost for nodes or only for ways.

Markus

Hi Markus,

Now it worked ;-)

Hey all,

I am new to pgRouting and I have a general question.
When I have imported my osm data to pgRouting database and calculate a route via A* from x to y does the result contains any information about where it is allowed to drive?

The route shouldn't contain any roads in the result you're not allowed to drive at. It should instead return you another way instead.


For example would the result route me in an oneway street where I am not allowed to drive?

The "cost" attribute for a road link is the cost from start to end node, the "reverse_cost" attribute is the cost in the opposite direction: http://www.pgrouting.org/docs/1.x/astar.html
So a oneway street has very high cost in one of these two cost attributes. If this cost is very high it will always try to find another way ... except there is no other way. But you could easily check this if the result returns very high "cost"


Does the result really contains only the shortest path with no information about prohibitions or am I wrong?

Yes. You have to model your network that it reflects these prohibitions.

Daniel



Best regards,
