history

Project history and usage

osm2pgrouting imports OpenStreetMap road-network data into a PostgreSQL/PostGIS database shaped for pgRouting. It is a specialized bridge between raw OSM XML and graph-routing SQL workflows.

Project history

The pgRouting/osm2pgrouting GitHub repository was created on October 30, 2010. Older pgRouting documentation credits Daniel Wendt as the primary original author and describes the project as later hosted on the pgRouting project site.

The tool's documentation and README place it firmly in the pgRouting stack: users prepare PostgreSQL, PostGIS, pgRouting, Boost, Expat, libpqxx, and CMake, then run the importer against an OSM file and an XML mapping configuration.

Adoption history

Its adoption is narrower than osm2pgsql because it targets routing topology rather than general OSM rendering or analysis. Evidence of packaging in Homebrew, Debian, Ubuntu, MacPorts, and FreeBSD ports shows it remains useful as a small import utility around pgRouting.

How it is used

osm2pgrouting reads an OSM XML file, uses `mapconfig.xml` to select road types and road classes, and creates routing-oriented tables. The older pgRouting documentation emphasizes generated types and classes tables, which can be used to build more sophisticated cost functions.

Why package nerds care

The package is a classic geospatial adapter: not a database, not a router, and not a renderer, but the glue that creates pgRouting-ready graph tables from OSM source data. Package maintainers care because its dependency stack crosses C++, PostgreSQL client libraries, PostGIS, and pgRouting ABI expectations.

Timeline

  • 2010-10-30: the pgRouting/osm2pgrouting repository is created on GitHub.
  • Older pgRouting documentation records Daniel Wendt as the primary original author.
  • Version 3.0.0 release notes discuss schema-level changes such as bigint identifiers and generated identity columns.

Related projects

  • pgRouting supplies the graph algorithms and database extension; PostGIS supplies spatial types and operations; PostgreSQL stores the imported network. osm2pgrouting is one importer in that stack.
