[OSGeo Africa] Routing application

[Wesley Roberts]

Dear Colleagues.



I have a quick question regarding a routing application I am trying to
develop.



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.



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 (http://workshop.pgrouting.org/index.html).



Does anyone on the list have experience using this software and will it
provide the information I require?



Many thanks and kind regards,

Wesley
