[pgrouting-users] Question regarding shortest_path_shooting_star

Dear Professionals,
It’s been a while we are using PostGIS to store our Geometry information in our Postgress database. We have developed vertex-to-vertex routing ourselves using iGraph library. Yesterday I read about pgRouting and I am porting our current application to pgRouting. However, I faces some issues in using shooting start path finder.

We stored edges and vertices information in tables and for finding a graph route with turn restriction, we are calling following SQL script:

SELECT shortest_path_shooting_star(
‘SELECT e.id,
e.first as source,
e.second as target,
ST_Length(e.geom) as cost,
st_x(st_pointn(e.geom, 1)) AS x1, st_y(st_pointn(e.geom, 1)) AS y1,
st_x(st_pointn(e.geom, 2)) AS x2, st_y(st_pointn(e.geom, 2)) AS y2,
(not connected)::boolean::int * 1000000 AS to_cost,
c.first AS rule
FROM edges e LEFT OUTER JOIN edge_connections c ON e.id = c.second
WHERE e.group_id = 0 order by e.id’,
1209560, 1209653,
true, false);

My inner subqery woud have following results:
id | source | target | cost | x1 | y1 | x2 | y2 | to_cost | rule
---------±--------±--------±---------------------±-----------------±-----------------±-----------------±-----------------±--------±--------
1087134 | 926686 | 926687 | 2.3299 | 51.4675 | 35.728 | 51.4675 | 35.72805577 | |
.
.
.
1209706 | 1039731 | 1039870 | 4.005 | 51.40828 | 35.7239 | 51.4082 | 35.7239 | 1000000 | 1209564
.
.
.

In the results, when a constraint exists, rule and to_cost would not be NULL. When a turn restriction exists, the results would be exactly like what specified in the docs (http://www.pgrouting.org/docs/1.x/shooting.html).

However, when I call the shortest_path_shooting_star function, results would not differ if a rule-and-to_cost exists or not. I have changed directed and has_reverse_cost parameters but nothing happened.

I was wondering if you guys could help me in this matter. Any advice or even a clue would be very much appreciated.

Thanks,
