About:
pgRouting extends the PostGIS/PostgreSQL geospatial database to provide geospatial routing functionality. It supports algorithms like Dijkstra's, A*, and driving distance calculations on road networks. This enables complex route planning and network analysis directly within the database environment.
Key Features:
  • Supports Dijkstra, A*, and other routing algorithms
  • Handles topology creation and analysis
  • Integrates seamlessly with PostGIS for spatial data
  • Enables SQL-based geospatial queries
Use Cases:
  • Vehicle routing and logistics planning
  • Emergency response route optimization
  • Network analysis for utilities and infrastructure
Alternatives:
  • OSRM – OSRM is a standalone C++ routing engine, whereas pgRouting operates as a PostgreSQL extension allowing SQL-based routing.
  • Valhalla – Valhalla is an open-source routing engine with multi-modal support, while pgRouting is tightly coupled with the PostGIS database.
