Hello,
I have tried to route my usual bike trips between work@Bern and home@Biel/Bienne and I am impressed by the quality of the routing. Even as indigenous biker I got a few useful hints for alternative routes. I think that tool is already a very useful planning help.
To increase the comfort for bikers, the routing algorithm should take in account elevation, meaning if there is a route around a hill I would prefer a few km more than 100 m elevation. This may also be realised with a diferentiated speed scale like: +-3% 28 kmh +5% 20 kmh +8% 15 kmh -5% 35 kmh -8% 50 kmh
Since bikers have quite different requirements regarding pavement - I have a bike (Tourenrad / vélo de randonée) that fits to any pavement but single trails only descending - this should be a setting like road (only paved) touring (paved unpaved including tracks and easy trails) mountain bike (only trails)
Thanks Philipp

For paths, could the sac_scale tag maybe be used? if sac scale is mountain_hiking or more, don't use it for the bike profile.
Right, and according to the document Sarah put on the wiki (https://github.com/lonvia/cbf-routing-profiles/wiki/Profiles), this is already done: everything that has a sac_scale tag is considered unroutable. The path I mentioned in my example doesn't have that tag, and I could indeed simply add it. That would solve that particular problem, but I'm wondering whether this solution isn't a bit fragile... Anyway, I don't have something much better to suggest for now...
Thanks, Michel. _______________________________________________ talk-ch mailing list talk-ch@openstreetmap.ch http://lists.openstreetmap.ch/mailman/listinfo/talk-ch
