Thanks Carsten.
To clarify then:
a. if position is 4, i can find the location of the corresponding start point 
using via_point[4]. 
    This does not seem correct though when I look at the example API 
(Requesting Routes section):
        https://github.com/Project-OSRM/osrm-backend/wiki/Server-api 

        In that case there is only start and end, but the route_instructions 
array has 6 elements. 

        The position values of these 6 elements   are 0, 2, 3, 8, 17, 20. 

        The via_points array has only 2 elements.

    So it is not clear how to interpret the "position" attribute.

b. I realize now that the travel times  is the time for travel to the next via 
point. That is why the end point has a travel time of 0.
    It is still unclear of course how I can figure out the lat+long of position 
along a street.

ThanksSriram

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

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 Carsten [1]

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
