Hello, I hope everyone is doing well. I’m currently exploring how to map evacuation routes for volcano mitigation in OSM. I want to use OpenRouteService to check if these routes are actually usable in real life, and I’m wondering: how can I use ORS to analyze or validate these routes based on OSM data?
Hey,
openrouteservice is a tool to create routes. Iin the simplest form, you are choosing a start- and endpoint and a movement profile (foot/car/…) and being returned a route connecting start- and endpoint, based on OSM street data.
I am therefore a bit unclear on what your question is. Could you elaborate a bit?
Best regards
Hey @jschnell,
If I’m mapping an evacuation route as a relation, not as a single way. Can I still use ORS to check if that route is navigable or not?
Thank you
Hey,
ah, got it. ORS does not support sticking to route relations automatically. That means you can check it, you will just have to create points following your route relation yourself.
You can then use these points to input into openrouteservice to check if your relation is navigable.
Best regards
