connection to subway stations located on areas/squares

[emiltin]

often a subway station is located on a square, without any ways connecting it to the outside street/pedestrian network.

it would be nice if osrm was smart enough to connect it when it's inside a routable area.

a related situation is railway lines located close to a platform, yet not being connected.

another case is highway=steps leading down to a point somewhere in the middle of a railway=platform

This is a very related OSM proposal: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Relations/Proposed/Station

You could model the whole station as a connecting node in the routing graph. It can solve the problem of connecting the station with the railway network, but the problem of connecting the station with the outside street network persists ...
