Hello Team Openrouteservice,

Thank you for your really useful ors service!

I would like to change the `radiuses` parameter for R ors\_optimization().

Could you help me with some example code? I can’t figure out how to pass it to the function:

res ← ors\_optimization(jobs, vehicles, options = list(g = TRUE))

Best  
Benjamin

Hey,

the [optimization API](https://openrouteservice.org/dev/#/api-docs/optimization/post) doesn’t have a `radiuses` parameter.

Best regards

Hi,

thanks for your reply!

When I call the R function ors\_optimization() the returned object comes with routing information as described in [Query openrouteservice from R • openrouteservice](https://giscience.github.io/openrouteservice-r/articles/openrouteservice.html).

It works very well with most points close to roads.

We have one sampling point high up in Black Forest that gets rejected with the following Error message:

Error: Openrouteservice API request failed  
[500] Could not find routable point within a radius of 350.0 meters of specified coordinate 6: 8.0569910 47.8784700.
