Routing with open street maps

Question

i have to develop a routing system with open street maps for my second year project (part of the project). I cannot use any external API's for routing. I understand .osm files and I was able to convert them to postgresql format using osm2po and create a database out of it but after this I am clueless. I have researched alot but cannot find any proper help on this topic. Any advice will be awesome.

Answer 1

If you are just focussing on developping an new algorithm, you might have a look at the Trafficmining framework that does all the parsing etc. for you and you just need to code the nessesary java components for your custom behaviour.

Answer 2

You didn't really tell us where you are stuck. But I suggest starting to read the OSM wiki about routing and tags for routing. Looking at one of the many online routers and offline routers for OSM will get you some ideas, too.
