[mkgmap-dev] [Patch v3] sharp angles

Mon Sep 7 07:20:45 BST 2015

Hi Felix,

I think I found some more rules, but I still need more tests
before I can code a new fix.
I found at least two errors in the v2 + v3 patch, not sure 
if they cause harm or if they just prevent good results.
One was in the highest speed calculation, the other in the calculation 
of the needed heading change (some angles were not enlarged, others
were enlarged too much)

Here is what I learned so far:
1) The time penalty for a turn depends on the angle and the sum of the 
road speed values of the arcs which are used.
(I thought that I have to look at the maximum (or minimum))
2) the sum of speeds gives a factor which is mulitplied with a value that depends
on the angle. The threshold values for the sum of speeds:
0,1 : 0
2,3 : 1
4,5 : 2 
...
12..13: 6
14: 7
2) penalties (for a car) are 
steps of 60s for angles below 22.5° (0s, 60 s, 120 s, 180s, ...,420s)
steps of 12s for angles > 22.5 and below 45 (0s ,12s , ..., 84s)
steps of 6s for angles > 45 and below 67.5 (0s, 6s, ...42s)
steps of 3s for angles > 67.5 and below 90 (0s, 3s, ..., 21s)

3) The penalty is always completely added to the travel time of the 2nd arc.

TODO:
- The above values are for a right turn in a drive-on-right area. I still have to  
check left turns.
- I also have to measure the effect on bicycle routing and maybe other vehicles
- The effect of multiple arcs. They have an effect on the precision of the stored
heading values. Not sure how this changes the results.
I guess that Garmin will only use an arc with a high speed when
that is long enough so that the higher speed weights out the penalty .
A few tests show that it typically prefers the slower roads at the junction
with the sharp angle, and "jumps" on the faster road at the next node. 

If you think that I should also look at other parameters, please let me know.

Yes - I think for the start and end of a route - the algo will choose topmost route only. For inbetween sections however not - there it chooses the best - at least according to my tests a few years ago...
There is a max of 6 or 7 roads lying on top of each other - if more it will produce a routing error and not go there at all.

And yeah - I also don't know what's best. V2 seemed best to me so far.

Hi Felix,

okay, I came to similar results with other styles today, so

maybe I'll revert the change that makes most angles larger.

Reg- --x-cycle-map:

Without it only angles < 45° are changed to 45°.

With it and v2, angles were changed to 68° when road speed of an arc is >= 3

and 90° when road_speed >= 5.

With it and v3, all angles < 90 are changed at junctions with only 3

directions.

I think the Garmin algo is not really able to handle multiple arcs with

that your style creates, at least it doesn't seem to "look" at all of them,

esp. the last part of a route seems always to use the "topmost" road,

means, the one that was last added in the style (as long as the selected

vehicle is allowed).

I think we first have to understand how the Garmin algo works before

we can try to manipulate the data for better results.

This is time consuming and error prone, so I'll need a few more days to

work out facts.
