Nice idea! I like the bike profiles. :-) What i missed on the touring profile is to make use of all the nice routes for bicycles. (eg. National and Regional Routes). The osrm guided me with your profiles over steep hills and on some ways with a lot of traffic, where the official bicycle route would make the way just some minutes longer but much more comfortable. So for myself, id like to have a bicycle profile: "take as many official bikeroutes as possible".
Yes, that certainly would be a nice thing to have, for walking as well.
As a result of my tries on your page I also installed the osrm server and the webinterface here locally. As I'm not an IT pro, it took me quite long. :-) But it seems to work. But now while having a look on your profiles and how exactly it works I'm getting into the direction of having no clue.
Wow, awesome. If you find settings in the profile that work better for you, I'm certainly interested to hear about that. I'm not a very frequent biker so all the weights you find in the profile are just an uneducated guess.
Did you think about this Relation topic? Do you know if it somehow would be possible?
It is possible but a bit more difficult. The main problem is that osrm itself does not know about route relations. So I was thinking to add a preprocessing step that adds artifical tags to all member ways of hiking/ biking routes. These tags can then be used in the profile to give a preference to marked routes.
I have not yet thought about how exactly to do the preprocessing. It most likely involves some programming with osmium or osmosis. If you want to look into it, I'd be happy to help.
Gruss
