Routing options to use motorways and ferries

[Uwe Schuster]

We are migrating from Mapserver to xServer 2 and routing with details like profiles, toll and emission does work. There are some remaining questions and one of them is regarding some routing profile options.

Our option (bool)	Mapserver	xServer 2
[x] Use motorway	IRouteOptions2::put_RouteWithoutAutoroute(section, [true|false]) Mapserver SDK documentation: "For the VARIANT_TRUE value the use of motorways is not permitted."	Use penaltiesByNetworkClass? NC0? Which penalty?
[x] Use residential roads	IDrivingOptions_5_4_0_0::put_ResidentsOnlyFactor(section, factor) Mapserver SDK documentation: "factor Modifier for streets that are restricted to residents" "The values range from -99 (strong preference) to 0 (normal rating) to 2500 (strong avoidance). 2501 can be used to block streets that are restricted to residents completely. " We do use the default value (0) when the option is checked and 2500 when the option is not checked.	Use penaltiesByNetworkClass? Which NC?
[x] Use ferries	IDrivingOptions_5_4_0_0::put_FerryFactor(section, factor) Mapserver SDK documentation: "Modifier for ferries." "The values range from -99 (strong preference) to 0 (normal rating) to 2500 (strong avoidance). 2501 can be used to block ferries completely." We do use 0 when the option is checked and 2500 when the option is not checked.	Use boatPenalty?

[x] Use motorway

Code: Select all

{
	"routingProfile": {
		"course": {
			"network": {
				"penaltiesByNetworkClass": {
					"penalties": [
						THIS_VALUE_HERE_QUESTIONMARK,
						10,
						15,
						35,
						40,
						90,
						100,
						100
					]
				}
			}
		}
	}
}

Is this correct to use routingProfile::course::network::penaltiesByNetworkClass::penalties?
"[x] Use motorway" = 0 for the first network class
"[ ] Use motorway" = 2500 for the first network class

[x] Use residential roads
Is this correct to use routingProfile::course::network::penaltiesByNetworkClass::penalties as well? What is the network class for this case?

[x] Use ferries

Code: Select all

{
	"routingProfile": {
		"course": {
			"combinedTransport": {
				"boatPenalty": "THIS_VALUE_HERE_QUESTIONMARK"
			}
		}
	}
}

Is this correct to use routingProfile::course::combinedTransport::boatPenalty?
"[x] Use ferries" = 0
"[ ] Use ferries" = 2500

Hi Mr Schuster,

afaik Avoid_Highways refers to NC0 AND NC1.
Residentials is NC5.

I'll cross check this with DEV!

But I think you are on a proper path,

About "IDrivingOptions_5_4_0_0::put_ResidentsOnlyFactor"

That is found at:
Routing / Course / BasicDataRules / SpecialAreas / @residentialMalus (xServer 1 profile)
RequestBase.requestProfile.routingProfile.crourse.apecialAreas.residentsOnlyPenalty (xServer 2 request)

It is not connected to a specific road type (== network class) but to a segment attribute. The attributes indicates that access to the road is only allowed for people who are resident.

Thanks Bernd and Joost!

For me "course::specialAreas::residentsOnlyPenalty" sounds more reasonable as equivalent for "IDrivingOptions_5_4_0_0::put_ResidentsOnlyFactor". I will try that (as soon as I remember a test case for that).
