NAME

BBBikeRouting - frontend for using BBBike routing

SYNOPSIS

use BBBikeRouting;
use Data::Dumper;
my $routing = BBBikeRouting->new;
$routing->init_context;
$routing->Start->Street("from street");
$routing->Goal->Street("to street");
$routing->search;
print Dumper $routing->RouteInfo;

DESCRIPTION

This is a wrapper around Strassen.pm to make simple routing scripts easier. The basic approach is described as code in "SYNOPSIS" and looks as following:

  • construct the BBBikeRouting object

  • initialize the Context member with init_context and maybe change some Context parameters

  • set Start and Goal members

  • perform the route search

  • output the route information

METHODS

new

The constructor of BBBikeRouting takes no arguments.

init_context

This method sets the Context member to initial values (bike routing in city scope. For the routing, maximum caching and speed (by using the C variant of the A* algorithm) will be used. See "MEMBERS" for a list of Context members.

search

Perform a search from the start to the goal position.

continue($position)

After a performed search, prepare the module to continue the existing route using the $position (a BBBikeRouting::Position object) as new goal. The old goal is pushed to the Via array. The actual search is performed by calling search() again.

delete_to_last_via

The opposite of continue(). This method will delete the path and routeinfo added by the last continue()/search() calls.

MEMBERS

Context

Hold a BBBikeRouting::Context object. The members of this object are:

Vehicle

Can be pedestrian, bike, car or oepnv (public transport).

Velocity

The average speed in km/h. Default is 20 km/h.

Scope

Can be city (only Berlin) or region (Berlin and Brandenburg).

UseXS

Use the XS extension, if possible. This will speed up the net creation.

UseCache

Use caches, if possible. This will speed up the creation of some internal data structures.

UseNetServer

Use the net server started by the bbbikestrserver script. This can be used instead of the XS and Cache speedups.

SearchArgs

An array reference with more search arguments. See the Strassen documentation for the method StrassenNetz::search.

Algorithm

The algorihm which should be used. Possible values are: srt (an ancient slower own search algorithm), A* (a pure-perl implementation of A*), or C-A* (a C/perl combination of A*, only available if the Inline::C module is installed and a C compiler is available).

CGI

Only for CGI scripts: the CGI query object.

BrowserInfo

Only for CGI scripts: the BrowserInfo object.

Verbose

Be verbose (output statistics to stderr etc.).

MultipleChoices

Fill the StartChoices/ViaChoices/GoalChoices members if a search for a start/via/goal has multiple results.

MultipleChoicesLimit

Limit the number of entries in the *Choices members. By default this is undef, which means unlimited.

Start, Goal

Hold BBBikeRouting::Position objects for the start and goal position. The members of this object are:

Street

The street of the position (without house numbers).

Citypart

The citypart of the position.

Coord

The coordinate (standard coordinate system) of the position.

Multi

Not used now.

RouteInfo

After finding a route, this member will contain an array reference of the route "elements". Please refer to the Strassen::StrassenNetz documentation for the format of a route element.

XXX For now, the goal node is *not* part of the RouteInfo. This may change in future.

Other members of BBBikeRouting are not meant for public use.

DATA FILES

It is assumed that data is available in a data subdirectory of the current script. The data/strassen file is mandatory if routing on streets is used (this is true for the vehicles pedestrian, bike and car), otherwise, for public transport, the files data/ubahn (for undergrounds) and data/sbahn (for city railway) are used.

For public transport, also a file data/umsteigebhf is needed for railway junctions with different station names (e.g. in Berlin you can change between "Rathaus Spandau" (U-Bahn) and "Spandau" (S-Bahn)).

For bike and car street routing, the file data/gesperrt should contain one-way streets, blocked streets, and blocked paths. Extra blocked streets for cars only should be put into the file data/gesperrt_car. It is assumed that there are no blocked streets for pedestrians at all.
