GeoServer does not currently have the capability for route planning. I
think there's one user who may have implemented it, hacking it in
somewhere. I know of no one who is planning to add route planning
capabilities, but I imagine it will be in GeoServer at some point,
especially after we refactor the architecture to make it very easy to
add new services, since I think this would be one of the most popular
ones. If you're interested in helping or starting out we can start a
wiki RnD page on it. I know that there is code in geotools to do graph
traversal and I think route finding information - the task would mostly
be plugging that into GeoServer and making a web service for it.

best regards,

Chris

there is an OGC specification for this kind of service. OpenGIS Location
Services (aka, OpenLS 1.1), page 55.

we're actually moved by external projects priorities, but indeed, we do plan
to implement it at some point, may be starting 2006. So if you are interested
in let the ball start rolling, go to that paper and do not hesitate to ask
whatever you need in order to set it up as a geoserver service.

Best regards,

Gabriel.
