consider ferries #5

Closed utack closed 7 years ago

utack commented 7 years ago

for longer tours in unknown environment ferries might be needed as fallback solution

poutnikl commented 7 years ago

And for coastal islands scenario even as a standard solution, like e.g. near Vancouver/CAN or Seattle/WA.

utack commented 7 years ago

What do you think about the solution I added in the branch? Moderately high CF of 2.0, but an initial cost of 25km ideal road to avoid hopping onto an "unknown" route

utack commented 7 years ago

I might set "otheraccess" to allow only ferries maybe, and then add CF of ideal 1.0, because once we hopped onto a ferry, there should be no major cost to ride it

poutnikl commented 7 years ago

CF 2.0 + IC 25km is IMHO fine. In fact it is comparable how ferries are managed in standard Trekking. Not too high CF as it is rather fast, but OTOH expensive. And very high initiial cost, as there is waiting and it is disturbance for the route.

utack commented 7 years ago

Allright, I set it to explicitly allow ferries, and lower CF once on the ferry

utack commented 7 years ago

But I should add a switch to turn on/off ferry calculation

poutnikl commented 7 years ago

So does Trekking have the ferry switch...

utack commented 7 years ago

switch added
