High performance routing engine written in C++14 designed to run on OpenStreetMap data.
The following services are available via HTTP API, C++ library interface and NodeJs wrapper:
- Nearest - Snaps coordinates to the street network and returns the nearest matches
- Route - Finds the fastest route between coordinates
- Table - Computes the duration of the fastest route between all pairs of supplied coordinates
- Match - Snaps noisy GPS traces to the road network in the most plausible way
- Trip - Solves the Traveling Salesman Problem using a greedy heuristic
- Tile - Generates Mapbox Vector Tiles with internal routing metadata
To quickly try OSRM use our demo server which comes with both the backend and a frontend on top.
Related Project-OSRM repositories:
- node-osrm - Production-ready NodeJs bindings for the routing engine
- osrm-frontend - User-facing frontend with map. The demo server runs this on top of the backend
- osrm-text-instructions - Text instructions from OSRM route response
- osrm-backend-docker - Ready to use Docker images

The easiest and quickest way to setup your own routing engine backend is to use Docker images we provide.
We base our Docker images on Alpine Linux and make sure they are as lightweight as possible.
wget http://download.geofabrik.de/europe/germany/berlin-latest.osm.pbf
docker run -t -v $(pwd):/data osrm/osrm-backend osrm-extract -p /opt/car.lua /data/berlin-latest.osm.pbf
docker run -t -v $(pwd):/data osrm/osrm-backend osrm-contract /data/berlin-latest.osrm
docker run -t -i -p 5000:5000 -v $(pwd):/data osrm/osrm-backend osrm-routed /data/berlin-latest.osrm
curl "http://127.0.0.1:5000/route/v1/driving/13.388860,52.517037;13.385983,52.496891?steps=true"
In case Docker complains about not being able to connect to the Docker daemon make sure you are in the docker group.
sudo usermod -aG docker $USER
After adding yourself to the docker group make sure to log out and back in again with your terminal.
The following targets Ubuntu 16.04. For instructions how to build on different distributions, macOS or Windows see our Wiki.
