Hi all,

Yesterday I read about an exciting routing project named “Orbis”: http://orbis.stanford.edu/
The project even made it in German national TV news: http://www.tagesschau.de/schlusslicht/orbis102.html
Watch the Youtube video for a nice introduction: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=KwoshD3esdc

Orbis does routing and spatial network analysis based on the network of the Roman Empire.
It was mentioned, that it uses Open Source software, so I was curious to see what they use for routing.
I was very happy to read that pgRouting is used (see “Building Orbis → Geospatial Technologies”).
Need to add it to the pgRouting gallery page.
