[pgrouting-dev] [SoC] [GSoC 2018] Final Report - Implement Minimum cost flow and ChPP for pgRouting

[Maoguang Wang]

 Hi all,

I am Maoguang Wang, and This is my final report for my GSoC project.

*Title:  Implement Minimum-cost flow Algorithm by the Boost Graph Library
and Chinese Postman Problem for pgRouting *

*Organization: *pgRouting under OSGeo

*Abstract: *

Minimum-cost flow problem is an extension of maximum flow problem with an
added cost (per unit flow) for each edge. The Chinese Postman Problem
(ChPP) in a directed graph can be solved by Minimum-cost flow algorithm.

I have added Minimum-cost flow algorithm and directed ChPP algorithms to
pgRouting during this GSoC period.


*Implemented functions:*

   -

* pgr_ChPP*
   - pgr_ChPP_Cost
   - pgr_minCostMaxFlow
   - pgr_minCostMaxFlow_Cost


*State of the art before the project: *pgRouting didn't have above
functionalities before my GSoC.


*Addition that my project brought to pgRouting: *

*The deliverables are code, full documentation, documentation tests, pgTap
of above functions.*



* Future Directions: *

   - Double confirm the documentation.
   - Implement undirected ChPP algorithms.
   - Implement windy or other complex ChPP problems.
   - Test the implementation in real cases.
