[postgis-users] Fire station

[Milo van der Linden]

Hello Ravi!

Thank you for the response. I used to use rwnet from www.routeware.dk, a 
very good commercial routing module for windows.


But I also found pgRouting (openSource and part of OpenLBS) available 
for postGIS at http://pgrouting.postlbs.org/
it has the ability to do drive-time analyses which can then be 
transformed to cartographic representation on maps.
I think this module will be very good for you, especially because it 
will give you a good insight on the data model needed to do this routing 
so you can prepare a dataset for testing.

I am trying this routing module out and will post some samples on my 
test website soon.

Please let me know if I can be of assistance!
