speed on highway=path

[emmexx]

I'm trying to force osrm to use highway=path.
In speedprofile I put a line with
path=30
I'm using the latest version of osrm downloadable from github:
DennisOSRM-Project-OSRM-bddac87

I tried a very simple route with start and target on the same way with highway= path and I get:

{"version": 0.3,"status":0,"status_message": "Found route between points","route_geometry": "k_qtGsg_w@l@rAbBpBn@hB","route_instructions": [["10","Viale Cervantes",159,0,0,"159m","S",172.46],["15","",0,3,0,"","N",0.0]],"route_summary": {"total_distance":160,"total_time":97,"start_point":"Viale Cervantes","end_point":"Viale Cervantes"},"via_points":[],"hint_data": {"checksum":-1967517059, "locations": ["A50BAO4NAAAgAAAARAAAAO-bGd4s7tQ_BmRFAIoADgC", "vyYAAO4NAABgAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAPA_pWNFAPL_DQB"]},"transactionId": "OSRM Routing Engine JSON Descriptor (v0.3)"}

The average speed of the trip is 5.94 km/h.

Are there any rules applied when travelling through a path?

thank you

it might be using the default speed? what's it set to in your profile?

[emmexx]

defaultSpeed = 12

[emmexx]

That path has a maxspeed:bicycle=5 set.

Could be that the "problem"?

[emiltin]

it's possible that osrm incorrectly uses maxspeed:bicycle?

[emmexx]

Emiltin, why did you write "incorrectly"? I'm using a bicycle speedprofile, so I'd expect OSRM to use the maxspeed:bicycle value.
MY problem is that osrm almost never chooses an highway=path way since it's speed value is always less than other types of ways.

well, if you're not legally allowed to move faster than 5km/h, then perhaps the route is really not that attractive?

anyways, if you're using a bike profile, then maxspeed:bicycle will be used - unless you set takeMinimumOfSpeeds=no in your speedprofile (if i understand it correctly, i find this feature a bit confusing). check the code in ExtrractorCallbacks.h around line 200.

In theory you're right, in practice:

• some those path are 20 meters wide so you can run at 10 km/h with no
  danger to anybody
• most important, I'm routing for bikes, almost always cyclists like to
  ride less even if it takes more time. I mean, if I don't go through
  those paths I have to ride triple the length.

be used - unless you set takeMinimumOfSpeeds=no in your speedprofile
(if i understand it correctly, i find this feature a bit confusing).

I already tried to set takeMinimumOfSpeeds=no to no avail.
I had checked that code and it did seem to me reasonable.

Thanks

all this will change when the new LUA-based parsing system is implemented. it will provide a more flexible way to handle tags.

Not sure what the problem here is. Flagging it as duplicate to #1.
