<h2><a name="H_1_1"></a>Program Usage</h2>

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.

<h3><a name="H_1_1_1"></a>planetsplitter</h3>

This program reads in the OSM format XML file and splits it up to create the
database that is used for routing.

<pre class="boxed">
Usage: planetsplitter [--help]
                      [--dir=&lt;dirname&gt;] [--prefix=&lt;name&gt;]
                      [--sort-ram-size=&lt;size&gt;]
                      [--tmpdir=&lt;dirname&gt;]
                      [--parse-only | --process-only]
                      [--loggable] [--errorlog=&lt;name&gt;]
                      [--max-iterations=&lt;number&gt;]
                      [--tagging=&lt;filename&gt;]
                      [&lt;filename.osm&gt; ...]
</pre>

<dl>
  <dt>--help
  <dd>Prints out the help information.
  <dt>--dir=&lt;dirname&gt;
  <dd>Sets the directory name in which to save the results.
    Defaults to the current directory.
  <dt>--prefix=&lt;name&gt;
  <dd>Sets the filename prefix for the files that are created.
    Defaults to no prefix.
  <dt>--sort-ram-size=&lt;size&gt;
  <dd>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.
  <dt>--tmpdir=&lt;dirname&gt;
  <dd>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.
  <dt>--parse-only
  <dd>Parse the input files and store them in a temporary file but don't process
    the data into a routing database.
  <dt>--process-only
  <dd>Don't read in any files but process the existing temporary file into the
    routing database.
  <dt>--loggable
  <dd>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.
  <dt>--errorlog=&lt;name&gt;
  <dd>Log OSM parsing and processing errors to this file name (the '--dir' and
    '--prefix' options are applied).
  <dt>--max-iterations=&lt;number&gt;
  <dd>The maximum number of iterations to use when generating super-nodes and
    super-segments.  Defaults to 10 which is normally enough.
  <dt>--tagging=&lt;filename&gt;
  <dd>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.
  <dt>&lt;filename.osm&gt; ...
  <dd>Specifies the filename(s) to read data from, by default data is read from
    the standard input.
</dl>

<p>
<i>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.</i>

<p>
<i>Note: In version 1.5 of Routino the --slim option has been removed but at
compilation time a separate program called <em>planetsplitter-slim</em> 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 four times as long to run.</i>

<p>
Example usage:

<pre class="boxed">
./planetsplitter --dir=data --prefix=gb great_britain.osm
</pre>

This will generate the output files 'data/gb-nodes.mem', 'data/gb-segments.mem'
and 'data/gb-ways.mem'.


<h3><a name="H_1_1_2"></a>router</h3>

This program performs the calculation of the optimum routes using the database
generated by the planetsplitter program.

    </ul>
    Default value depends on the profile selected by the --transport option.
  <dt>--oneway=[0|1]
  <dd>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.
  <dt>--turns=[0|1]
  <dd>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.
  <dt>--weight=&lt;weight&gt;
  <dd>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.
  <dt>--height=&lt;height&gt;
  <dd>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.
  <dt>--width=&lt;width&gt;
  <dd>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.
  <dt>--length=&lt;length&gt;
  <dd>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.
</dl>

<p>
<i>Note: In version 1.5 of Routino a slim option has been added and at
compilation time a separate program called <em>router-slim</em> is created that
operates in slim mode.  In slim mode the database files are read as needed
rather than being mapped into memory.</i>

<p>
The meaning of the &lt;preference&gt; 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.

<p>
Example usage (motorbike journey, scenic route, not very fast):

<pre class="boxed">
./router --dir=data --prefix=gb --transport=motorbike --highway-motorway=0 \
         --highway-trunk=0 --speed-primary=80 --speed-secondary=80 --quickest
</pre>

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.

48	<h2><a name="H_1_1"></a>Program Usage</h2>
49
50	There are four programs that make up this software. The first one takes the
51	planet.osm datafile from OpenStreetMap (or other source of data using the same
52	formats) and converts it into a local database. The second program uses the
53	database to determine an optimum route between two points. The third program
54	allows visualisation of the data and statistics to be extracted. The fourth
55	program is a test program for the tag transformations.
56
57	<h3><a name="H_1_1_1"></a>planetsplitter</h3>
58
59	This program reads in the OSM format XML file and splits it up to create the
60	database that is used for routing.

77	<dt>--dir=<dirname>
78	<dd>Sets the directory name in which to save the results.
79	Defaults to the current directory.
80	<dt>--prefix=<name>
81	<dd>Sets the filename prefix for the files that are created.
82	Defaults to no prefix.
83	<dt>--sort-ram-size=<size>
84	<dd>Specifies the amount of RAM (in MB) to use for sorting the data. If not
85	specified then 64 MB will be used in slim mode or 256 MB otherwise.
86	<dt>--tmpdir=<dirname>
87	<dd>Specifies the name of the directory to store the temporary disk files. If
88	not specified then it defaults to either the value of the --dir option or the
89	current directory.
90	<dt>--parse-only
91	<dd>Parse the input files and store them in a temporary file but don't process
92	the data into a routing database.
93	<dt>--process-only
94	<dd>Don't read in any files but process the existing temporary file into the
95	routing database.
96	<dt>--loggable
97	<dd>Print progress messages that are suitable for logging to a file; normally
98	an incrementing counter is printed which is more suitable for real-time
99	display than logging.
100	<dt>--errorlog=<name>
101	<dd>Log OSM parsing and processing errors to this file name (the '--dir' and
102	'--prefix' options are applied).
103	<dt>--max-iterations=<number>
104	<dd>The maximum number of iterations to use when generating super-nodes and
105	super-segments. Defaults to 10 which is normally enough.
106	<dt>--tagging=<filename>
107	<dd>Sets the filename containing the list of tagging rules in XML format for
108	the parsing the input files. If the file doesn't exist then dirname, prefix
109	and "profiles.xml" will be combined and used, if that doesn't exist then the
110	file '/usr/local/share/routino/profiles.xml' (or custom installation
111	location) will be used.
112	<dt><filename.osm> ...
113	<dd>Specifies the filename(s) to read data from, by default data is read from
114	the standard input.

116
117	<p>
118	<i>Note: In version 1.4 of Routino the --transport, --not-highway and
119	--not-property options have been removed. The same functionality can be
120	achieved by editing the tagging rules file to not output unwanted data.</i>
121
122	<p>
123	<i>Note: In version 1.5 of Routino the --slim option has been removed but at
124	compilation time a separate program called <em>planetsplitter-slim</em> is
125	created that operates in slim mode. In slim mode the temporary files and
126	database files are read as needed rather than being mapped into memory. This
127	allows a database size greater than 2 GB on 32-bit machines or usage with little
128	or no virtual memory (e.g. some virtual machines). The penalty for this is that
129	the program takes about four times as long to run.</i>
130
131	<p>
132	Example usage:
133
134	<pre class="boxed">
135	./planetsplitter --dir=data --prefix=gb great_britain.osm
136	</pre>
137
138	This will generate the output files 'data/gb-nodes.mem', 'data/gb-segments.mem'
139	and 'data/gb-ways.mem'.

332
333	<p>
334	The meaning of the <preference> parameter in the command line options is
335	slightly different for the highway preferences and the property preferences.
336	For the highway preference consider the choice between two possible highways
337	between the start and finish when looking for the shortest route. If highway A
338	has a preference of 100% and highway B has a preference of 90% then highway A
339	will be chosen even if it is up to 11% longer (100/90 = 111%). For the highway
340	properties each highway either has a particular property or not. If the
341	preference for the property is 60% then a highway with the property has a
342	preference of 77% (sqrt(60%)) and one without has a preference of 63%
343	(sqrt(100-60%)). A highway with the property will be chosen even if it is up to
344	22% longer than one without the property (77/63 = 122%). The overall preference
345	for each highway segment is the product of the preference for the highway type
346	and all of the preferences for the highway properties.
347
348	<p>
349	Example usage (motorbike journey, scenic route, not very fast):
350
351	<pre class="boxed">
352	./router --dir=data --prefix=gb --transport=motorbike --highway-motorway=0 \
353	--highway-trunk=0 --speed-primary=80 --speed-secondary=80 --quickest
354	</pre>
355
356	This will use the files 'data/gb-nodes.mem', 'data/gb-segments.mem' and
357	'data/gb-ways.mem' to find the quickest route by motorbike not using motorways
358	or trunk roads and not exceeding 80 km/hr.
