Hello Sourabh,

This document is very incomplete please review the GSoC rules and the OSGeO
rules about the application

*Yes Actually It presently seems incomplete as I just mean to present the

idea. At Finalizing I will definately follow the Gsoc and OSGeo guidelines.*

I must mention that It is not suggesting an algorithm to be implemented on

pgRouting, but looks more on how to use pgRouting for the special case of
"read networks".If you haven't done it, please read the pgRouting wiki
GSoC ideas of graph
algorithms.

*As of me, it must binds as an algorithm which includes transformation to

line graph, identifying turns, computing metrics and then minimizing the
objective function.*
* If You don't it as a potential proposal idea, then I am also doing
literature work for Multi-modal routing, generic directions and
trailer-truck routing problem.*
* Please, Let me know if there is any useful resource(content) for the
above ideas.*

Also, to start making the tasks asked so that we consider your application

when we finish refining it.
I made lots of comments on your document.

*Done, Please review it and let me know if you requires any information.*

​I agree that is describing the ​

shortest path problem​ where you are not using distance as weight. Please
read the pgRouting workshop

*>>>Ok I will read that. Here I requires, weights for edges and nodes

seperately, which must apply on transformed Line graph. *

*>>> Its quite relatable to my approach, as I am also thinking of
implementing it using "Line graph" of the original road network, and using
Dijkstra's algorithm where the nodes and edges both contain weights. *
