The Open Source Routing Machine or OSRM is a Wikipedia:C++ implementation of a high-performance routing engine for Wikipedia:shortest paths in Wikipedia:road Wikipedia:networks. Licensed under the Wikipedia:Affero General Public License, OSRM is a Wikipedia:free network service.

It combines sophisticated Wikipedia:routing algorithms with the open and free road network data of the Wikipedia:OpenStreetMap (OSM) project. Shortest path computation on a continental sized network can take up to several seconds if it is done without a so-called speedup-technique. OSRM is able to compute and output a shortest path between any origin and destination within a few miliseconds. Since it is designed with OpenStreetMap compatibility in mind, OSM data files can be easily imported. A demo installation is sponsored by Wikipedia:Karlsruhe Institute of Technology and previously by Geofabrik. OSRM is under active development.

OSRM was part of the 2011 Wikipedia:Google Wikipedia:Summer of Code class.

Features

• 'Click-to-Drag' dynamic routing, ala Wikipedia:Google Maps.
• Wikipedia:Free and Open Source under the Wikipedia:Affero General Public License.
