If the SIGNAL_PARENT_WHEN_READY environment variable is set osrm-routed will send the USR1 signal to its parent when it will be running and waiting for requests. This could be used to upgrade osrm-routed to a new binary on the fly without any service downtime - no incoming requests will be lost.
If the DISABLE_ACCESS_LOGGING environment variable is set osrm-routed will not log any http requests to standard output. This can be useful in high traffic setup.
osrm-routed
supports only GET
requests of the form. If you your response size
exceeds the limits of a simple URL encoding, consider using our NodeJS bindings
or using the C++ library directly.

Map matching matches given GPS points to the road network in the most plausible way. Please note the request might result multiple sub-traces. Large jumps in the timestamps (>60s) or improbable transitions lead to trace splits if a complete matching could not be found. The algorithm might not be able to match all points. Outliers are removed if they can not be matched successfully.

The trip plugin solves the Traveling Salesman Problem using a greedy heuristic (farthest-insertion algorithm). The returned path does not have to be the shortest path, as TSP is NP-hard it is only an approximation. Note that if the input coordinates can not be joined by a single trip (e.g. the coordinates are on several disconnected islands) multiple trips for each connected component are returned.

Namely, the clockwise angle from true north to the direction of travel immediately before the maneuver/passing the intersection. Bearings are given relative to the intersection.

This generates Mapbox Vector Tiles that can be viewed with a vector-tile capable slippy-map viewer. The tiles contain road geometries and metadata that can be used to examine the routing graph. The tiles are generated directly from the data in-memory, so are in sync with actual routing results, and let you examine which roads are actually routable, and what weights they have applied.
http://{server}/tile/v1/{profile}/tile({x},{y},{zoom}).mvt
The x
, y
, and zoom
values are the same as described at https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Slippy_map_tilenames, and are supported by vector tile viewers like Mapbox GL JS.
The response object is either a binary encoded blob with a Content-Type
of application/x-protobuf
, or a 404
error. Note that OSRM is hard-coded to only return tiles from zoom level 12 and higher (to avoid accidentally returning extremely large vector tiles).
Vector tiles contain just a single layer named speeds
. Within that layer, features can have speed
(int) and is_small
(boolean) attributes.
