[pgrouting-users] Problem using TRSP

The important part is to do the test with no turn restrictions because 
dijkstra  and astar do not do restrictions. So if the route is bad 
without any restrictions then we need to look into what is happening 
there. Also remember the TRSP depending on how it is called also looks 
at the direction of the start and end segments and computes a partial 
length along those segments which the other algorithms do not do and 
that can impact the results if two routes are close to the same length.

It would really be great if you can do some testing and report your results.

Thanks,
