Table of Contents¶

pgRouting extends the PostGIS/PostgreSQL geospatial database to provide geospatial routing and other network analysis functionality.

This is the manual for pgRouting v3.6.0-dev.

General¶

pgr_bdAstar - Bidirectional A* algorithm for obtaining paths.
pgr_bdAstarCost - Bidirectional A* algorithm to calculate the cost of the paths.
pgr_bdAstarCostMatrix - Bidirectional A* algorithm to calculate a cost matrix of paths.

pgr_bdDijkstra - Bidirectional Dijkstra algorithm for the shortest paths.
pgr_bdDijkstraCost - Bidirectional Dijkstra to calculate the cost of the shortest paths
pgr_bdDijkstraCostMatrix - Bidirectional Dijkstra algorithm to create a matrix of costs of the shortest paths.

pgr_maxFlow - Only the Max flow calculation using Push and Relabel algorithm.
pgr_boykovKolmogorov - Boykov and Kolmogorov with details of flow on edges.
pgr_edmondsKarp - Edmonds and Karp algorithm with details of flow on edges.
pgr_pushRelabel - Push and relabel algorithm with details of flow on edges.
Applications
- pgr_edgeDisjointPaths - Calculates edge disjoint paths between two groups of vertices.
- pgr_maxCardinalityMatch - Calculates a maximum cardinality matching in a graph.

The following functions modify the database directly therefore the user must have special permissions given by the administrators to use them.

pgr_createTopology - create a topology based on the geometry.
pgr_createVerticesTable - reconstruct the vertices table based on the source and target information.
pgr_analyzeGraph - to analyze the edges and vertices of the edge table.
pgr_analyzeOneWay - to analyze directionality of the edges.
pgr_nodeNetwork -to create nodes to a not noded edge table.
