Hi Carsten 

Many thanks....the link you mention shows the route instructions describe each 
street and gives the position of the start point, its length, and time in 
seconds.
This is very helpful.
Still the documentation is not fully clear (to me).

Take the example in the link: 
    ["Turn left",    "High Street",    200,                   <------ 200 m long
    4,                        <------ position (of the starting point on the 
street?)
    10,                      <------- time to traverse this street?
    "200m",    "NE",    22.5    ]
My questions are:
1. What is the lat/long of the starting position on High Street i.e how to 
convert "4" to lat/long. 

    I think this has to do with via indices and via points in the link you 
mention, but that seems a bit murky (at least to me). Any clarification would 
help a lot.    What is the difference between via_indices and via_points. Is 
there a via_point for each point in the route instruction? Can I just use one 
or the other?

2. After say 5 seconds of travel on High Street, what would be the lat/long of 
the new position.

ThanksSriram

Hi Sriram to reply a part of your question:take a look at this documentacion 
[1]The first number is driving directions.The geomerty is a compressed tring 
that you have to decompress.also discripted in the Link below. Kind regards

Betreff: [OSRM-talk] Plotting position in time using OSRM

I would like to create a simple simulation of  a trip using OSRM. I believe the 
steps would be as follows (my questions are in parenthesis below) a. Load OSM 
map of a city into OSRMb. Choose a random begin, end location that falls within 
the city lat/long (how to find lat/long limits of the loaded map?)c. Compute 
the distance (in time) between start, end using OSRMd. Also compute a path 
between start, end using OSRM (are the node vertices mentioned in route the 
same as in the OSM map?)e. The difficult part:    -- start the simulation by 
displaying the map along with position marker (Leaflet?)    -- As time 
progresses, determine the location along the OSRM route computed above (how can 
this be done?)       and adjust the position marker.   An OSRM route looks like 
this:"route_instructions": [
        [
            "10",    <-------------------- what is this id and how to convert 
it to lat/long
            "Schulstraße",
            126,
            0,
            18,
            "126m",
            "SE",
            116
        ],
        [
            "7",     <----------------  how to find elapsed time to this point 
from previous one
            "Am Rahmtor",
            57,
            2,
            11,
            "57m",
            "NE",
            38
        ]

Given a start and end lat/long, a network distance (time) can be obtained as 
follows:
"distance_table": [
        [
            0,
            26084
        ],
        [
            26084,
            0
        ]

This would be useful if the route way-points above could be converted into time 
units.
Would appreciate any help with the above 
questions,Sriram_______________________________________________ OSRM-talk
