pgr_trsp - Turn Restriction Shortest Path (TRSP)

Name

pgr_trsp — Returns the shortest path with support for turn restrictions.

Synopsis

The turn restricted shorthest path (TRSP) is a shortest path algorithm that can optionally take into account complicated turn restrictions like those found in real world navigable road networks. Performamnce wise it is nearly as fast as the A* search but has many additional features like it works with edges rather than the nodes of the network. Returns a set of pgr_costResult (seq, id1, id2, cost) rows, that make up a path.

pgr_costResult[] pgr_trsp(sql text, source integer, target integer,
            directed boolean, has_rcost boolean [,restrict_sql text]);
pgr_costResult[] pgr_trsp(sql text, source_edge integer, source_pos float8,
                target_edge integer, target_pos float8,
            directed boolean, has_rcost boolean [,restrict_sql text]);
pgr_costResult3[] pgr_trspViaVertices(sql text, vids integer[],
                directed boolean, has_rcost boolean
                [, turn_restrict_sql text]);
pgr_costResult3[] pgr_trspViaEdges(sql text, eids integer[], pcts float8[],
               directed boolean, has_rcost boolean
               [, turn_restrict_sql text]);

Description

The Turn Restricted Shortest Path algorithm (TRSP) is similar to the Shooting Star algorithm in that you can specify turn restrictions.

The TRSP setup is mostly the same as Dijkstra shortest path with the addition of an optional turn restriction table. This provides an easy way of adding turn restrictions to a road network by placing them in a separate table.

sql:

a SQL query, which should return a set of rows with the following columns:

SELECT id, source, target, cost, [,reverse_cost] FROM edge_table
id:int4 identifier of the edge
source:int4 identifier of the source vertex
target:int4 identifier of the target vertex
cost:float8 value, of the edge traversal cost. A negative cost will prevent the edge from being inserted in the graph.
reverse_cost:(optional) the cost for the reverse traversal of the edge. This is only used when the directed and has_rcost parameters are true (see the above remark about negative costs).
source:

int4 NODE id of the start point

target:

int4 NODE id of the end point

directed:

true if the graph is directed

has_rcost:

if true, the reverse_cost column of the SQL generated set of rows will be used for the cost of the traversal of the edge in the opposite direction.

restrict_sql:

(optional) a SQL query, which should return a set of rows with the following columns:

SELECT to_cost, target_id, via_path FROM restrictions
to_cost:float8 turn restriction cost
target_id:int4 target id
via_path:text comma separated list of edges in the reverse order of rule

Another variant of TRSP allows to specify EDGE id of source and target together with a fraction to interpolate the position:

source_edge:int4 EDGE id of the start edge
source_pos:float8 fraction of 1 defines the position on the start edge
target_edge:int4 EDGE id of the end edge
target_pos:float8 fraction of 1 defines the position on the end edge

Returns set of pgr_costResult[]:

seq:row sequence
id1:node ID
id2:edge ID (-1 for the last row)
cost:cost to traverse from id1 using id2

  • New in version 2.0.0

Support for Vias

Warning

The Support for Vias functions are prototypes. Not all corner cases are being considered.

We also have support for vias where you can say generate a from A to B to C, etc. We support both methods above only you pass an array of vertices or and array of edges and percentage position along the edge in two arrays.

sql:

a SQL query, which should return a set of rows with the following columns:

SELECT id, source, target, cost, [,reverse_cost] FROM edge_table
id:int4 identifier of the edge
source:int4 identifier of the source vertex
target:int4 identifier of the target vertex
cost:float8 value, of the edge traversal cost. A negative cost will prevent the edge from being inserted in the graph.
reverse_cost:(optional) the cost for the reverse traversal of the edge. This is only used when the directed and has_rcost parameters are true (see the above remark about negative costs).
vids:

int4[] An ordered array of NODE id the path will go through from start to end.

directed:

true if the graph is directed

has_rcost:

if true, the reverse_cost column of the SQL generated set of rows will be used for the cost of the traversal of the edge in the opposite direction.

restrict_sql:

(optional) a SQL query, which should return a set of rows with the following columns:

SELECT to_cost, target_id, via_path FROM restrictions
to_cost:float8 turn restriction cost
target_id:int4 target id
via_path:text commar separated list of edges in the reverse order of rule

Another variant of TRSP allows to specify EDGE id together with a fraction to interpolate the position:

eids:int4 An ordered array of EDGE id that the path has to traverse
pcts:float8 An array of fractional positions along the respective edges in eids, where 0.0 is the start of the edge and 1.0 is the end of the eadge.

Returns set of pgr_costResult[]:

seq:row sequence
id1:route ID
id2:node ID
id3:edge ID (-1 for the last row)
cost:cost to traverse from id2 using id3

Examples

Without turn restrictions

SELECT * FROM pgr_trsp(
        'SELECT id::INTEGER, source::INTEGER, target::INTEGER, cost FROM edge_table',
        7, 12, false, false
    );
 seq | id1 | id2 | cost 
-----+-----+-----+------
   0 |   7 |   6 |    1
   1 |   8 |   7 |    1
   2 |   5 |   8 |    1
   3 |   6 |   9 |    1
   4 |   9 |  15 |    1
   5 |  12 |  -1 |    0
(6 rows)

With turn restrictions

Then a query with turn restrictions is created as:

SELECT * FROM pgr_trsp(
        'SELECT id::INTEGER, source::INTEGER, target::INTEGER, cost FROM edge_table',
        2, 7, false, false,
        'SELECT to_cost, target_id::int4,
        from_edge || coalesce('','' || via_path, '''') AS via_path
        FROM restrictions'
    );
 seq | id1 | id2 | cost 
-----+-----+-----+------
   0 |   2 |   4 |    1
   1 |   5 |  10 |    1
   2 |  10 |  12 |    1

   4 |   6 |   8 |    1
   5 |   5 |   7 |    1
   6 |   8 |   6 |    1
   7 |   7 |  -1 |    0
(8 rows)

SELECT * FROM pgr_trsp(
        'SELECT id::INTEGER, source::INTEGER, target::INTEGER, cost FROM edge_table',
        7, 11, false, false,
        'SELECT to_cost, target_id::int4,
        from_edge || coalesce('','' || via_path, '''') AS via_path
        FROM restrictions'
    );
 seq | id1 | id2 | cost 
-----+-----+-----+------
   0 |   7 |   6 |    1
   1 |   8 |   7 |    1

   4 |   9 |  15 |    1
   5 |  12 |  13 |    1
   6 |  11 |  -1 |    0
(7 rows)
