Routino : Usage
===============
There are four programs that make up this software. The first one takes
the planet.osm datafile from OpenStreetMap (or other source of data
using the same formats) and converts it into a local database. The
second program uses the database to determine an optimum route between
two points. The third program allows visualisation of the data and
statistics to be extracted. The fourth program is a test program for
the tag transformations.
planetsplitter
--------------
This program reads in the OSM format XML file and splits it up to
create the database that is used for routing.
Usage: planetsplitter [--help]
[--dir=<dirname>] [--prefix=<name>]
[--sort-ram-size=<size>] [--sort-threads=<number>]
[--tmpdir=<dirname>]
[--tagging=<filename>]
[--loggable] [--logtime]
[--errorlog[=<name>]]
[--parse-only | --process-only]
[--max-iterations=<number>]
[--prune-none]
[--prune-isolated=<len>]
[--prune-short=<len>]
[--prune-straight=<len>]
[<filename.osm> ...]
--help
Prints out the help information.
--dir=<dirname>
Sets the directory name in which to save the results. Defaults
to the current directory.
--prefix=<name>
Sets the filename prefix for the files that are created.
Defaults to no prefix.
--sort-ram-size=<size>
Specifies the amount of RAM (in MB) to use for sorting the data.
If not specified then 64 MB will be used in slim mode or 256 MB
otherwise.
--sort-threads=<number>
The number of threads to use for data sorting (the sorting
memory is shared between the threads).
--tmpdir=<dirname>
Specifies the name of the directory to store the temporary disk
files. If not specified then it defaults to either the value of
the --dir option or the current directory.
--tagging=<filename>
Sets the filename containing the list of tagging rules in XML
format for the parsing the input files. If the file doesn't
exist then dirname, prefix and "profiles.xml" will be combined
and used, if that doesn't exist then the file
'/usr/local/share/routino/profiles.xml' (or custom installation
location) will be used.
--loggable
Print progress messages that are suitable for logging to a file;
normally an incrementing counter is printed which is more
suitable for real-time display than logging.
--logtime
Print the elapsed time for each processing step.
--errorlog[=<name>]
Log OSM parsing and processing errors to 'error.log' or the
specified file name (the '--dir' and '--prefix' options are
applied).
--parse-only
Parse the input files and store them in a temporary file but
don't process the data into a routing database.
--process-only
Don't read in any files but process the existing temporary file
into the routing database.
--max-iterations=<number>
The maximum number of iterations to use when generating
super-nodes and super-segments. Defaults to 5 which is normally
enough.
--prune-none
Disable the prune options below, they can be re-enabled by
adding them to the command line after this option.
--prune-isolated=<length>
Remove small disconnected groups of segments (defaults to
removing groups under 500m).
--prune-short=<length>
Remove short segments (defaults to removing segments up to a
maximum length of 5m).
--prune-straight=<length>
Remove nodes in almost straight highways (defaults to removing
nodes up to 3m offset from a straight line).
<filename.osm> ...
Specifies the filename(s) to read data from, by default data is
read from the standard input.
Note: In version 1.4 of Routino the --transport, --not-highway and
--not-property options have been removed. The same functionality can be
achieved by editing the tagging rules file to not output unwanted data.
Note: In version 1.5 of Routino the --slim option has been removed but
at compilation time a separate program called planetsplitter-slim is
created that operates in slim mode. In slim mode the temporary files
and database files are read as needed rather than being mapped into
memory. This allows a database size greater than 2 GB on 32-bit
machines or usage with little or no virtual memory (e.g. some virtual
machines). The penalty for this is that the program takes about twice
as long to run.
Example usage:
./planetsplitter --dir=data --prefix=gb great_britain.osm
This will generate the output files 'data/gb-nodes.mem',
'data/gb-segments.mem' and 'data/gb-ways.mem'.
router
------
This program performs the calculation of the optimum routes using the
database generated by the planetsplitter program.

Sets the directory name in which to read the local database.
Defaults to the current directory.
--prefix=<name>
Sets the filename prefix for the files in the local database.
Defaults to no prefix.
--profiles=<filename>

format. If the file doesn't exist then dirname, prefix and
"profiles.xml" will be combined and used, if that doesn't exist
then the file '/usr/local/share/routino/profiles.xml' (or custom
installation location) will be used.
--translations=<filename>
Sets the filename containing the list of translations in XML
format for the output files. If the file doesn't exist then
dirname, prefix and "translations.xml" will be combined and
used, if that doesn't exist then the file
'/usr/local/share/routino/translations.xml' (or custom
installation location) will be used.
--exact-nodes-only
When processing the specified latitude and longitude points only
select the nearest node instead of finding the nearest point
within a segment (quicker but less accurate unless the points
are already near nodes).
--loggable
Print progress messages that are suitable for logging to a file;
normally an incrementing counter is printed which is more
suitable for real-time display than logging.
--quiet
Don't generate any screen output while running (useful for
running in a script).
--language=<lang>
Select the language specified from the file of translations. If
this option is not given and the file exists then the first
language in the file will be used. If this option is not given
and no file exists the compiled-in default language (English)
will be used.
--output-html
--output-gpx-track
--output-gpx-route
--output-text
--output-text-all
Generate the selected output file formats (HTML, GPX track file,
GPX route file, plain text route and/or plain text with all
nodes). If no output is specified then all are generated,
specifying any automatically disables those not specified.
--output-none
Do not generate any output or read in any translations files.
--profile=<name>

+ motorbike = Motorbike
+ motorcar = Motorcar
+ goods = Goods (Small lorry, van)
+ hgv = HGV (Heavy Goods Vehicle - large lorry)
+ psv = PSV (Public Service Vehicle - bus, coach)
Defaults to 'motorcar', this option also selects the default
profile information if the '--profile' option is not given and a
profile matching the transport name is found.
--shortest
Find the shortest route between the waypoints.
--quickest
Find the quickest route between the waypoints.
--lon1=<longitude>, --lat1=<latitude>
--lon2=<longitude>, --lat2=<latitude>
... --lon99=<longitude>, --lat99=<latitude>
The location of the waypoints that make up the start, middle and
end points of the route. Up to 99 waypoints can be specified and
the route will pass through each of the specified ones in
sequence. The algorithm will use the closest node or point
within a segment that allows the specified traffic type.
--heading=<bearing>
Specifies the initial direction of travel at the start of the
route (from the lowest numbered waypoint) as a compass bearing
from 0 to 360 degrees.
--highway-<highway>=<preference>
Selects the percentage preference for using each particular type
of highway. The value of <highway> can be selected from:
+ motorway = Motorway
+ trunk = Trunk
+ primary = Primary
+ secondary = Secondary
+ tertiary = Tertiary
+ unclassified = Unclassified
+ residential = Residential
+ service = Service
+ track = Track
+ cycleway = Cycleway
+ path = Path
+ steps = Steps
+ ferry = Ferry
Default value depends on the profile selected by the --transport
option.
--speed-<highway>=<speed>
Selects the speed limit in km/hour for each type of highway.
Default value depends on the profile selected by the --transport
option.
--property-<property>=<preference>
Selects the percentage preference for using each particular
highway property The value of <property> can be selected from:
+ paved = Paved (suitable for normal wheels)
+ multilane = Multiple lanes
+ bridge = Bridge
+ tunnel = Tunnel
+ footroute = A route marked for foot travel
+ bicycleroute = A route marked for bicycle travel
Default value depends on the profile selected by the --transport
option.
--oneway=[0|1]
Selects if the direction of oneway streets are to be obeyed
(useful to not obey them when walking). Default value depends on
the profile selected by the --transport option.
--turns=[0|1]
Selects if turn restrictions are to be obeyed (useful to not
obey them when walking). Default value depends on the profile
selected by the --transport option.
--weight=<weight>
Specifies the weight of the mode of transport in tonnes; ensures
that the weight limit on the highway is not exceeded. Default
value depends on the profile selected by the --transport option.
--height=<height>
Specifies the height of the mode of transport in metres; ensures
that the height limit on the highway is not exceeded. Default
value depends on the profile selected by the --transport option.
--width=<width>
Specifies the width of the mode of transport in metres; ensures
that the width limit on the highway is not exceeded. Default
value depends on the profile selected by the --transport option.
--length=<length>
Specifies the length of the mode of transport in metres; ensures
that the length limit on the highway is not exceeded. Default
value depends on the profile selected by the --transport option.
Note: In version 1.5 of Routino a slim option has been added and at
compilation time a separate program called router-slim is created that
operates in slim mode. In slim mode the database files are read as
needed rather than being mapped into memory.
The meaning of the <preference> parameter in the command line options
is slightly different for the highway preferences and the property
preferences. For the highway preference consider the choice between two
possible highways between the start and finish when looking for the
shortest route. If highway A has a preference of 100% and highway B has
a preference of 90% then highway A will be chosen even if it is up to
11% longer (100/90 = 111%). For the highway properties each highway
either has a particular property or not. If the preference for the
property is 60% then a highway with the property has a preference of
77% (sqrt(60%)) and one without has a preference of 63%
(sqrt(100-60%)). A highway with the property will be chosen even if it
is up to 22% longer than one without the property (77/63 = 122%). The
overall preference for each highway segment is the product of the
preference for the highway type and all of the preferences for the
highway properties.
Example usage (motorbike journey, scenic route, not very fast):
./router --dir=data --prefix=gb --transport=motorbike --highway-motorway=0 \
--highway-trunk=0 --speed-primary=80 --speed-secondary=80 --quickest
This will use the files 'data/gb-nodes.mem', 'data/gb-segments.mem' and
'data/gb-ways.mem' to find the quickest route by motorbike not using
motorways or trunk roads and not exceeding 80 km/hr.
