So the question about alternative paths came up on the users list and<br>
this seems like a good paper discussing how to implement that.<br>

This would be a cool GSoC project or just something someone might want<br>
to tackle.<br>
<br>
Did Jay or someone implement k-shortest paths? I see we have a ticket<br>
for this some maybe not:<br>

Hi Steve,<br>
<br>
This hasn&#39;t been done yet. And it could be interesting project for GSoC, I<br>
agree.<br>
<br>
It&#39;s also not clear to me, if k-shortest path doesn&#39;t mean often just a<br>
tiny permutation in the path. This wouldn&#39;t be really what we want, right?<br>
I guess, that alternate routes as Google provides them are probably<br>
calculated with different costs.<br>

&gt; I agree.<br>
&gt;<br>

&gt; calculated with different costs.<br>
<br>
Correct, I would agree the k-shortest path just does little<br>
permutations, so read the pdf link above. That is what we need for what<br>
google is doing.<br>
