Open Source Routing Machine

High performance routing engine written in C++14 designed to run on OpenStreetMap data.
The following services are available via HTTP API, C++ library interface and NodeJs wrapper:
- Nearest - Snaps coordinates to the street network and returns the nearest matches
- Route - Finds the fastest route between coordinates
- Table - Computes the duration of the fastest route between all pairs of supplied coordinates
- Match - Snaps noisy GPS traces to the road network in the most plausible way
- Trip - Solves the Traveling Salesman Problem using a greedy heuristic
- Tile - Generates Mapbox Vector Tiles with internal routing metadata
To quickly try OSRM use our demo server which comes with both the backend and a frontend on top.
For a quick introduction about how the road network is represented in OpenStreetMap and how to map specific road network features have a look at this guide about mapping for navigation.

Quick Start
The easiest and quickest way to setup your own routing engine is to use Docker images we provide.
There are two pre-processing pipelines available:
- Contraction Hierarchies (CH)
- Multi-Level Dijkstra (MLD)
we recommend using MLD by default except for special use-cases such as very large distance matrices where CH is still a better fit for the time being.
In the following we explain the MLD pipeline.
If you want to use the CH pipeline instead replace osrm-partition and osrm-customize with a single osrm-contract and change the algorithm option for osrm-routed to --algorithm ch.
Using Docker
We base our Docker images (backend, frontend) on Alpine Linux and make sure they are as lightweight as possible.
Download OpenStreetMap extracts for example from Geofabrik
wget http://download.geofabrik.de/europe/germany/berlin-latest.osm.pbf
Pre-process the extract with the car profile and start a routing engine HTTP server on port 5000
docker run -t -v $(pwd):/data osrm/osrm-backend osrm-extract -p /opt/car.lua /data/berlin-latest.osm.pbf
docker run -t -v $(pwd):/data osrm/osrm-backend osrm-partition /data/berlin-latest.osrm
docker run -t -v $(pwd):/data osrm/osrm-backend osrm-customize /data/berlin-latest.osrm
docker run -t -i -p 5000:5000 -v $(pwd):/data osrm/osrm-backend osrm-routed --algorithm mld /data/berlin-latest.osrm
Make requests against the HTTP server
curl "http://127.0.0.1:5000/route/v1/driving/13.388860,52.517037;13.385983,52.496891?steps=true"
Optionally start a user-friendly frontend on port 9966, and open it up in your browser
docker run -p 9966:9966 osrm/osrm-frontend
xdg-open 'http://127.0.0.1:9966'
In case Docker complains about not being able to connect to the Docker daemon make sure you are in the docker group.
sudo usermod -aG docker $USER
After adding yourself to the docker group make sure to log out and back in again with your terminal.
We support the following images on Docker Cloud:
| Name | Description |
|---|---|

master compiled with release flag |
latest-assertions |
master compiled with with release flag, assertions enabled and debug symbols |
latest-debug |
master compiled with debug flag |

Building from Source
The following targets Ubuntu 16.04. For instructions how to build on different distributions, macOS or Windows see our Wiki.
Install dependencies
sudo apt install build-essential git cmake pkg-config \
libbz2-dev libxml2-dev libzip-dev libboost-all-dev \
lua5.2 liblua5.2-dev libtbb-dev
Compile and install OSRM binaries
mkdir -p build
cd build
cmake ..
cmake --build .
sudo cmake --build . --target install
Request Against the Demo Server
Read the API usage policy. Simple query with instructions and alternatives on Berlin:
curl "https://router.project-osrm.org/route/v1/driving/13.388860,52.517037;13.385983,52.496891?steps=true&alternatives=true"
Using the Node.js Bindings
The Node.js bindings provide read-only access to the routing engine. We provide API documentation and examples here.
You will need a modern libstdc++ toolchain (>= GLIBCXX_3.4.20) for binary compatibility if you want to use the pre-built binaries.
For older Ubuntu systems you can upgrade your standard library for example with:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-toolchain-r/test
sudo apt-get update -y
sudo apt-get install -y libstdc++-5-dev
You can install the Node.js bindings via npm install osrm or from this repository either via
npm install
which will check and use pre-built binaries if they're available for this release and your Node version, or via
npm install --build-from-source
to always force building the Node.js bindings from source.
For usage details have a look these API docs.
An exemplary implementation by a 3rd party with Docker and Node.js can be found here.
