OSRM plugin for QGIS (UNMAINTAINED)

Overview

Tiny QGIS plug-in allowing to retrieve and display data from an (ideally locally based) OSRM web service.

This plug-in is in its early stage of development and the code is hosted on github.

Only targets OSRM > v5.0 (API introduced around April 2016)

Current plugin version : 0.1.0

Functionality

• Find a route
• Get a time matrix
• Make accessibility isochrones
• Solve the Travelling Salesman Problem
• Compute and export many routes

Usage

This plug-in is primarily aimed to be used on a local instance of OSRM.

If used to request the public API you have to adhere to the API Usage Policy (which include no heavy usage, like computing many /viaroute with this plug-in)

Example

Images of this page are displayed on OpenStreetMap tiles (© OpenStreetMap contributors) and route computations were done with Open Source Routing Machine.

Find a route

Display a simple route from OSRM (with support of viapoints, alternatives roads and route instructions):

Fetch a time-distance matrix

Get a time matrix from one (or between two) QGIS point layer(s):

Compute accessibility isochrones

Compute monocentric or polycentric accessibility isochrones:

Compute many viaroute

Retrieve many routes between two QGIS layer of points:

Display the solution of the Travelling Salesman Problem

Display the result of the Travelling Salesman Problem computed by OSRM:

Licence and attribution

If the information computed by this plugin is intend to be reused, you have to properly display the source of the routes and the data licence attribution :

• All the routes/time matrix displayed are computed by the underlying routing engine OSRM.
• Route computed by the OSRM public API (and probably by your instance) rely on OpenStreetMap dataset which is under ODbL.

Changelog

0.0.1b:

• Add support for new OSRM API (> v5.0) and drop support for other versions

0.0.1:

• Add support for the OSRM /trip functionality
• Add support for intermediate points in viaroute displaying.
• Add experimental support for "polycentric" (and more precise) accessibility isochrones.
• Add support for new OSRM rectangular matrix (and isochrones creation using it).
• First release

0.0.1-rc1:

• Drop the use of shapely for isochrone polygons construction.
• ADD: a backport of functools.lru_cache to cache http request on client side.
• ADD: restriction on the batch viaroute to prevent a massive use of the public API.
