Proposal

Brief Description

Minimum-cost flow problem is an extension of maximum flow problem with an added cost (per unit flow) for each edge. The Chinese Postman Problem (ChPP) in a directed graph can be solved by Minimum-cost flow algorithm.
This project is proposing to add Minimum-cost flow algorithm and directed ChPP algorithms to pgRouting during GSoC 2018.

State of the project before GSoC

Previously there is no functionality which calculates Minimum-cost flow or ChPP in the library.

Timeline

Community Bonding Period (April 23 to May 13, 2018)

  • Read and understand the BGL docs
  • Read more about directed ChPP.
  • Prepare the wiki page (TODO lists and weekly reports).
  • Discuss the design of function signatures with mentors.
  • Write an introductory email to our SOC mailing list and to your community dev mailing list, detailing your project and asking for feedback. Also include information about your wiki page, public repository and any other way the community can follow updates for your project, like a blog, a Twitter account, etc...
  • Add the links to your wiki page and public repository in the accepted students wiki page.
  • Now it's a good time to study again Google's GSoC students guide and OSGeo's specific instructions, they contain useful advices from past years.
  • Public interaction is important -- it is a key principle of open source -- work happens where everyone can see it.

Week 1 (May 14 to May 20, 2018)

  • Prepare basic code and test framework for Minimum-cost flow implementation.
  • Analyze whether the current sample data is good for testing and documenting the functions. If not, create new sample data for these functions.
