Routing issue using Stairs #631

Closed smallpixelStefan closed 1 year ago

smallpixelStefan commented 1 year ago

Hello, when trying to route using this link https://brouter.de/brouter-web/#map=18/50.87640/6.02425/osm-mapnik-german_style&lonlats=6.021119,50.877315;6.025829,50.875839;6.027653,50.873266

Is there a way to get the information which element was used for the routing? Maybe the routing uses the highway=pedestrian tag, but there are only stairs available. The question is, the problem caused by "wrong" tags or by another point.

Thx Stefan

BRouter calculates a cost for each way and the way with the least cost is used for routing. The cost can be calculated using different tags on a way, so it's not a single tag which causes a way to be used or not

You can see the cost of a way using the data tab in the right sidebar.

In this case the area around the steps is mapped as highway=pedestrian without any additional tags. It doesn't route over the steps.

Rather, BRouter throws away all ways when it realizes they cannot have their final cost smaller than the best one from the sub-optimal but quick first pass. It speeds up routing and saves computation resources. See more in https://github.com/poutnikl/Brouter-profiles/wiki/Glossary about A-star algorithm and Pass1Coeeficient.

Thank you very much for the quick response. I have updated the tags. Should be fine after the next update.
