Disallowed ways used in route anyway

#1

I have the problem that a way is usable in one mode of travel (foot) and unusable in another (horse).

I verified with the debugger during import that all flags are zero for the horse encoder, the edges only get a forward and backward flag for foot encoder.

But during horse routing, the ways are included in the route anyway.

My solution still uses graphhopper 0.1, so I know what the obvious suggestion is. :slight_smile:

But my question is: Was such a basic problem ever found and fixed somewhere in the version history of GH?

bye, Nop

#2

Tough question :slight_smile:

We fixed many serious bugs in some of the releases but I do not remember such a bug. Still I can remember that multiple vehicle profiles was a relative new feature in 0.1 before only car was possible I think. I even know the author of this really nice feature :wink:

What does the debugger say for the routing request (not on import)? Is the routing for the two profiles working at all?

#3

The routing with two profiles seems to work nicely. The problem only seems to occur when a way has no flags in one mode.
I believe it was never noticed before as most of totally disallowed ways (e.g. private) are disallowed for all modes or appear in combination with a barrier and barriers work.
I was not able to easily debug the routing as I am using gh as a compiled .jar and unlike the importer I don’t know where in the source to start looking.

Anyway, since the problem is serious (routing over ways marked as life-threatening) it seems that the best way is to rewrite my customization and move to 0.9 in the hope that it goes away. :-I

The entry point for the routing in 0.1 was here: https://github.com/graphhopper/graphhopper/blob/0.1/core/src/main/java/com/graphhopper/GraphHopper.java#L571

With Netbeans you can also do remote debugging: https://www.graphhopper.com/blog/2016/08/04/the-daily-bug-hunt/
