Alter Road Speeds in Config - Matrix

openrouteservice matrix
1

Hi,
I have produced a matrix for Finland and It appears that the road speeds within metro and urban areas are too fast compared to google and was wondering if there is a method to adjust the speeds for roads that aren’t motorway and dual carriageway road speeds. For example, the residential roads in cities?

My understanding is that speeds are set using the following approach: Travel Speeds - openrouteservice documentation.
However, is there a means at which I can adjust this in the config.json file? Does weightings have to be fastest?

My config is as follows:

Hey,

no, the speeds are not configured in the config file.
To make the thread more readable, I hid the config - hope that’s okay with you :slight_smile:

The speeds are configured in this file, adapting that for your build could fix your issues.

Take into account, though, that drive times on google are also based on traffic data, something openrouteservice doesn’t offer.

Best regards

Hi jschnell,

Thanks for the quick response. If I adjusted the car.json, where would this file need to saved and how would I configure the machine to pick up these car speeds?

Cheers
Joe

Hey,

the adjusted file can stay where it is, and rebuilding the code and graphs should suffice to take them into account.

Best regards

Hi,

Apologies, I don’t know if this car.json exists in the first place, where would it be saved? I only have the ors-config.json

Cheers
Joe

Hey,

ah, you’re running openrouteservice with the provided docker image.
You can either build the docker-image yourself and change the file beforehand.
Or you can change that file in the ors container, where the ors code can be found in /ors-core.
You’ll then have to rerun the two commands setting up ors, i.e.

mvn -q -f /ors-core/openrouteservice/pom.xml package -DskipTests
cp -f /ors-core/openrouteservice/target/*.war /usr/local/tomcat/webapps/ors.war

and then rerun

/usr/local/tomcat/bin/catalina.sh run

to restart the ors inside the container.

Best regards

Hi, I am running the below to build the container. Where would I add it to here?

docker run -dt --name ors-Finland -p 8080:8080 -e BUILD_GRAPHS=True -v c:/ors-config/Finland/graphs:/ors-core/data/graphs -v c:/ors-config/Finland/elevation_cache:/ors-core/data/elevation_cache -v c:/ors-config/Finland/conf:/ors-conf -v C:/OSMFiles/finland-latest.osm.pbf:/ors-core/data/osm_file.pbf -e “JAVA_OPTS=-Djava.awt.headless=true -server -XX:TargetSurvivorRatio=75 -XX:SurvivorRatio=64 -XX:MaxTenuringThreshold=3 -XX:+UseG1GC -XX:ParallelGCThreads=4 -Xms5g -Xmx64g -XX:MaxMetaspaceSize=512m” -e “CATALINA_OPTS=-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.port=9001 -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.rmi.port=9001 -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.authenticate=false -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.ssl=false -Djava.rmi.server.hostname=localhost” openrouteservice/openrouteservice:latest

Hey,

you’d have to change that file in the running container. It seems like you’re running on windows, so I am not sure how to get a command prompt for a running container.

Once you have that, stop the running tomcat, change the files and then repackage, re-copy and restart as shown above.

Best regards

Hi,
I am not from a coding background so not sure how to add this to the docker run script shared above? If you know anyone who could help me with this please?

Also, my understanding is that these avg speeds would only be used for instances where the road doesn’t have a maxspeed is that correct. So wouldn’t impact the speeds of these if I adjusted the car.json and got it to work anyway?

Hey,

wherever you run the docker command, you can also use docker exec to start an interactive shell like so:

docker exec -it ors-Finland bash

You can then issue

/usr/local/tomcat/bin/catalina.sh stop

to stop the running tomcat, then adapt your files and issue the three commands above to rebuild and rerun the ors.

Regarding your question, yes, if the road has a maxspeed-tag, that is going to be used, since that usually constitutes a driveable speed.

Best regards

Hi @jschnell,

I have another query please:

• Attempt to take into account reduced speeds in residential areas using acceleration modifier or a residential penalty

Where does the above get set and what factor is applied? Can this be adjusted to account for traffic?

Travel Speeds - openrouteservice documentation.
