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

It combines sophisticated [[Wikipedia:routing algorithm]]s 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. <ref>Project listing: http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/project/google/gsoc2011/bharathv/13001</ref>

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