[Live-demo] review of pgRouting Overview docs

[Cameron Shorter]

Daniel, Thank you for your pgRouting Overview docs. Your docs are good and I've only made minor comments, mainly reducing words, hopefully without removing meaning. I did comment out the "Implemented Standards" section, as it seems that pgRouting doesn't make use of specific OGC standards. I've committed changes back into svn. The results are below. Please review and update if I've made mistakes. pgRouting¶ GIS Tools¶ pgRouting extends the PostGIS/PostgreSQL geospatial database to provide geospatial routing functionality. Advantages of the database routing approach are: Data and attributes can be modified by many clients, like Quantum GIS and uDig through JDBC, ODBC, or directly using Pl/pgSQL. The clients can either be PCs or mobile devices. Data changes can be reflected instantaneously through the routing engine. There is no need for precalculation. The “cost” parameter can be dynamically calculated through SQL and its value can come from multiple fields or tables. Core Features¶ pgRouting provides functions for: Shortest Path Dikstra: routing algorithm without heuristics Shortest Path A-Star: routing for large datasets (with heuristics) Shortest Path Shooting-Star: routing with turn restrictions (with heuristics) Traveling Salesperson Problem (TSP) Driving Distance calculation (Isolines) Details¶ Website: http://www.pgrouting.org Licence: GNU General Public License (GPL) version 2 Software Version: 1.03 (svn) Supported Platforms: Linux, Windows, Mac API Interfaces: SQL Commercial Support: http://www.pgrouting.org -- Cameron Shorter Geospatial Director Tel: +61 (0)2 8570 5050 Mob: +61 (0)419 142 254 Think Globally, Fix Locally Geospatial Solutions enhanced with Open Standards and Open Source http://www.lisasoft.com
