I have not looked at the round_trip feature code, but if it is solving a TSP problem it really need to solve it for an asymmetric matrix and not a symmetric matrix. Most of the algorithms you find around the web solve the symmetric case, but because we are dealing with oneway streets and turn restrictions, etc there can be some big differences in cost based on the direction of travel between nodes.

There is a way to convert an asymmetric matrix into a symmetric matrix that might be an option. Or if you are only looking for an approximate optimization solution then the symmetric matrix might be good enough.

You can look at pgRouting and see what we have done there.

Thank you guys for the Inspiration. I will have a Look at it tomorrow.

A simple trick if you want to do start-via-via-...-via-end optimization like 
TSP is to use TSP and artificially set the distance between end and start 
locations to zero and this will keep those two city bound together. Then in the 
result just remove that link.

This will allow the same code that solves TSP round trip to also optimize the 
vis points between a start and end trip.

Emne: Re: [OSRM-talk] Route Optimizing

Hi Jonas,


Are there any ambitions to create something like an optimization for route 
stops?
And when not do you know any other way to do this via rest request?


If you are thinking of the TSP -
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Travelling_salesman_problem - then it is a simple problem of "I 
need to visit X places after each other, please optimize the order to visit those places in". 
The solution is well-described in the WikiPedia link. You can write a little JavaScript, Python or 
whatever - and optimize on either distance or time. It is fairly simple, and all you use OSRM for 
is getting the costs. If you want as few calls to the OSRM-server as possible, then have a look at 
the "table"-service  ( 
https://github.com/Project-OSRM/osrm-backend/wiki/Server-api#available-services
)

Best regards,

Greg
