pgRouting
pgRouting extends PostgreSQL/PostGIS with geospatial routing and network analysis functions.
What is pgRouting?
pgRouting is an open-source extension for PostgreSQL/PostGIS that adds geospatial routing and network analysis capabilities directly within the database. It enables users to perform complex spatial queries and routing calculations, such as finding shortest paths and solving traveling salesperson problems, without needing external services.
GIS developers, data analysts, and urban planners who need to perform network analysis and routing on spatial data stored in PostgreSQL/PostGIS databases.
Developers choose pgRouting because it integrates routing functionality directly into PostgreSQL, leveraging PostGIS for robust spatial data management and enabling efficient, database-native geospatial computations without external dependencies.
Overview
Repository contains pgRouting library. Development branch is "develop", stable branch is "master"
Use Cases
Best For
- Performing shortest path calculations (e.g., Dijkstra, A-star) on large geospatial networks within a PostgreSQL database.
