NYC Open Routing

Routing in NYC with pgRouting and authoritative NYC data. This project is currently a proof of concept and not intended for real world routing scenarios.

Features

Getting Started

This projected is orchestrated with docker-compose.

  1. Clone this repo and cd into it:

    git clone https://github.com/ishiland/nyc-open-routing.git

  2. Build the project.

    docker-compose build

  3. Start the project.

    docker-compose up -d

    If this is the first time starting, the api container will download and install geosupport. You can upgrade geosupport by specifying a different version in the .env file and restarting the service.

  4. Import the Lion data using the following command:

    docker-compose exec api sh /data-imports/scripts/import-lion.sh

    You can also specify a version of Lion:

    docker-compose exec api sh /data-imports/scripts/import-lion.sh 23a

  5. When its complete navigate to http://localhost:3001

api

Use the flask api to query routes directly. All successful requests return GeoJSON w/MultiLineString geometries. You can comment out the client container in the docker-compose.yml if all you require is the api.

Parameters:

  • orig: Origin coordinates. Expects a comma separated lat,long.
  • dest: Destination coordinates. Expects a comma separated lat,long.
  • mode: Travel mode. Can be drive, walk or bike

Example request: http://localhost:5001/api/route?orig=-74.0117,40.649221&dest=-73.951458,40.797061&mode=drive

Further Ideas

  • Incorporate traffic data to more accurately calculate driving costs. Live or static traffic data would be a significant improvement.
  • Add public transit modes using MTA data.
  • Ferry schedules for more accurate biking/walking cost.
  • Travel time isochrones for selected addresses.
  • Line Merge segments where possible to optimize and reduce complexity of graph.
  • Optimize functions by adding BBOX parameter.
  • Add turn by turn directions with angle (left, right, sharp right, etc. ) similar to google maps.
  • Send GeoJSON directly from the database using ST_AsGeoJSON to remove gdal dependency in api container.
