Flatten SF: what is multi-objective routing and how does it work

Flatten SF calcula, dentro del navegador y sobre 160.000 tramos de calle de San Francisco , la ruta a pie o en bici que evita las cuestas más empinadas de la ciudad. Lo logra combinando datos de elevación lidar de 1 metro del programa 3D Elevation del USGS con el grafo de calles de Overture y OpenStreetMap, resolviendo lo que en teoría de grafos se llama ruteo multiobjetivo, es decir, encontrar…

Translated from Spanish Read in Spanish

Flatten SF is a tool that calculates walking or cycling routes in San Francisco, avoiding steep hills. It uses 1-meter elevation data from the USGS's 3D Elevation program and street data from Overture and OpenStreetMap to find the optimal routes. The tool can identify 160,000 street segments in San Francisco and provides a set of routes that balance distance and elevation gain. This is achieved through multi-objective routing, which generates a set of Pareto-optimal routes.
