Building ITN for pgRouting

This document and repository explains how to load Ordnance Survey ITN GML into a PostGIS database with Loader and then build a network suitable for use with pgRouting. The network will have one way streets, no entry and no turn restrictions, mandatory turns and grade separations for over- and underpasses. Network costs will be calulated using average travel speeds. Further realism can be added to the network using more of the road routing information supplied with ITN. I'll leave that to better brains than mine.

Setting up PostGIS

I am running this on PostgreSQL 9.3.5 with PostGIS 2.1.5 and pgRouting 2.0.0 on "localhost" with user "postgres". Adjust your settings as necessary. This is what I used.

Create a new database: routing

Create a new schema: osmm_itn

Adjust the search_path variable for user postgres if required to access the osmm_itn schema.

Enable the pgRouting extension: CREATE EXTENSION pgrouting;

Configuring Loader

Get Loader: https://github.com/AstunTechnology/Loader and download and unpack into your working directory. Follow the instructions to configure Loader to load the ITN GML into PostGIS.

My Loader configuration (sans comments)

src_dir=C:\Workspace\Loader\ITN_6348787\01
out_dir=C:\Workspace\Loader\output
tmp_dir=C:\Workspace\Loader
ogr_cmd=ogr2ogr --config GML_EXPOSE_FID NO -append -skipfailures -f PostgreSQL PG:'dbname=routing active_schema=osmm_itn host=localhost user=postgres password=yourpassword port=5432' $file_path
prep_cmd=python prepgml4ogr.py $file_path prep_osgml.prep_osmm_itn
post_cmd=
gfs_file=../gfs/osmm_itn_postgres.gfs
debug=False

Loading

Load the ITN GML into PostGIS using Loader by running in the Loader directory:

python loader.py loader.config

Note: I used non-geographically chunked GML (as opposed to geographically chunked) from Ordnance Survey - this does not contain duplicate features which can lead to issues later on.

Once the GML has been loaded into PostGIS run the views.sql file in the extras directory of the Loader installation. This creates a number of views that link the ITN tables together and provide the links between the road links and the road route information (RRI).

Now you should have some tables and some views in the osmm_itn schema in your routing database.

To build a valid network that pgRouting can use you need to create some additional views which contain the information required to model one way streets, grade separations and turn restrictions and mandatory turns.

Update road names and road numbers

First let's update the roadlink table with road names and road numbers. Add the roadname and roadnumber fields to the roadlink table:

ALTER TABLE roadlink ADD COLUMN roadname character varying(250);
ALTER TABLE roadlink ADD COLUMN roadnumber character varying(70);

This uses the road table to update the roadlink table with road names. Takes some time to run if you have a large dataset.

UPDATE roadlink SET roadname = 
(
SELECT DISTINCT array_to_string(c.roadname,', ') AS roadname 
FROM roadlink a 
INNER JOIN road_roadlink b ON b.roadlink_fid = a.fid
INNER JOIN road c ON c.fid = b.road_fid
WHERE a.fid = roadlink.fid 
AND c.descriptivegroup = 'Named Road'
);

The following three queries update the roadlink table with the DFT road numbers. This is somewhat quicker than the query above as there usually fewer records to update.

Update Motorways

UPDATE roadlink SET dftname = 
(
SELECT DISTINCT array_to_string(c.roadname,', ') AS roadname 
FROM roadlink a 
INNER JOIN road_roadlink b ON b.roadlink_fid = a.fid
INNER JOIN road c ON c.fid = b.road_fid
WHERE a.fid = roadlink.fid 
AND c.descriptivegroup = 'Motorway'
)
WHERE roadlink.descriptiveterm = 'Motorway';

Update A Roads

UPDATE roadlink SET dftname = 
(
SELECT DISTINCT array_to_string(c.roadname,', ') AS roadname 
FROM roadlink a 
INNER JOIN road_roadlink b ON b.roadlink_fid = a.fid
INNER JOIN road c ON c.fid = b.road_fid
WHERE a.fid = roadlink.fid 
AND c.descriptivegroup = 'A Road'
)
WHERE roadlink.descriptiveterm = 'A Road';

Update B Roads

UPDATE roadlink SET dftname = 
(
SELECT DISTINCT array_to_string(c.roadname,', ') AS roadname 
FROM roadlink a 
INNER JOIN road_roadlink b ON b.roadlink_fid = a.fid
INNER JOIN road c ON c.fid = b.road_fid
WHERE a.fid = roadlink.fid 
AND c.descriptivegroup = 'B Road'
)
WHERE roadlink.descriptiveterm = 'B Road';

Create one way view

One Way Start with creating a view of one way streets in the network. This combines the information in the roadrouteinformation table with the view linking the roadlinks and roadrouteinformation to select out the streets with a "one way" environmental qualifier. It also adds a numeric value to the roadlink to indicate whether the one way direction is the same as the digitised direction of the link as shown by the "+" and "-". These values will be used later in the network table.

-- View: view_itn_oneway
-- DROP VIEW view_itn_oneway;
CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW view_itn_oneway AS 
SELECT replace(array_to_string(rri.directedlink_href, ', '::text), '#'::text, ''::text) AS directedlink_href,
  rrirl.roadrouteinformation_fid,
  array_to_string(rri.directedlink_orientation, ', '::text) AS directedlink_orientation,
  array_to_string(rri.environmentqualifier_instruction, ', '::text) AS environmentqualifier,
    CASE
        WHEN rri.directedlink_orientation::text = '{+}'::text THEN 512
        ELSE 1024
    END AS oneway_attr
FROM roadrouteinformation_roadlink rrirl
RIGHT JOIN roadrouteinformation rri ON rri.fid::text = rrirl.roadrouteinformation_fid::text
WHERE rri.environmentqualifier_instruction = '{"One Way"}'::character varying[];
ALTER TABLE view_itn_oneway
  OWNER TO postgres;
COMMENT ON VIEW view_itn_oneway 
  IS 'ITN one way streets view';

Create grade separation view

Grade Separation

Then create a view to hold all the links with grade separation values of 1, i.e. elevated at one or both ends. The view will be used to identify all the links in the final network table that make up bridges and overpasses.
-- View: view_itn_gradeseparation
-- DROP VIEW view_itn_gradeseparation;
CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW view_itn_gradeseparation AS 
  SELECT rl.fid,
  rl.ogc_fid,
  rl.directednode_gradeseparation[1] AS gradeseparation_s,
  rl.directednode_gradeseparation[2] AS gradeseparation_e,
  COALESCE(((rl.roadname::text || ' ('::text) || rl.dftname::text) || ')'::text, COALESCE(rl.dftname::text, rl.descriptiveterm::text)) AS roadname,
  rl.wkb_geometry
FROM roadlink rl
WHERE rl.directednode_gradeseparation = '{0,1}'::integer[] OR rl.directednode_gradeseparation = '{1,1}'::integer[] OR rl.directednode_gradeseparation = '{1,0}'::integer[];
ALTER TABLE view_itn_gradeseparation
  OWNER TO postgres;
COMMENT ON VIEW view_itn_gradeseparation
  IS 'ITN links with grade separation';

This is a work in progress here but pgRouting has some issues with bridges being split where they cross the underlying road link. So, in an attempt to build a better network the following view takes the road links with grade separation values of 1 and unions then merges the input to create single linestrings representing the bridge. These are then put back into the final network table replacing the existing road links.

-- View: view_itn_bridges

-- DROP VIEW view_itn_bridges;

CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW view_itn_bridges AS 
 SELECT gs.roadname,
    (st_dump(st_linemerge(st_union(gs.wkb_geometry)))).geom AS wkb_geometry
 FROM view_itn_gradeseparation gs
 GROUP BY gs.roadname;

ALTER TABLE view_itn_bridges
  OWNER TO postgres;

Possible a better way of doing this is to use turn restrictions for the grade separations. See the end of the document for more information.

Create network table

Once we have this in place we can create an empty table to hold the route network geometry and attributes required for pgRouting. I am going to call my table "itn_network".

-- Table: itn_network

-- DROP TABLE itn_network;

CREATE TABLE itn_network
(
  fkey_pkey integer,
  gradeseparation_s integer,
  gradeseparation_e integer,
  oneway integer,
  toid character varying(30),
  dftname character varying(200),
  roadname character varying(200),
  length double precision,
  natureofroad character varying(40),
  geometry geometry,
  descriptivegroup character varying(20),
  descriptiveterm character varying(40),
  rl_attribute integer,
  rl_speed integer,
  rl_width integer,
  rl_weight integer,
  rl_height integer,
  gid serial NOT NULL,
  source integer,
  target integer,
  cost_len double precision,
  rcost_len double precision,
  one_way character varying(2),
  cost_time double precision,
  rcost_time double precision,
  x1 double precision,
  y1 double precision,
  x2 double precision,
  y2 double precision,
  to_cost double precision,
  rule text,
  isolated integer,
  CONSTRAINT itn_network_pkey PRIMARY KEY (gid)
)
WITH (
  OIDS=FALSE
);
ALTER TABLE itn_network
  OWNER TO postgres;
COMMENT ON TABLE itn_network
  IS 'ITN network in routable format';

-- Index: itn_network_geometry_gidx
-- DROP INDEX itn_network_geometry_gidx;
CREATE INDEX itn_network_geometry_gidx
  ON itn_network
  USING gist
  (geometry);

-- Index: itn_network_source_idx
-- DROP INDEX itn_network_source_idx;
CREATE INDEX itn_network_source_idx
  ON itn_network
  USING btree
  (source);

-- Index: itn_network_target_idx
-- DROP INDEX itn_network_target_idx;
CREATE INDEX itn_network_target_idx
  ON itn_network
  USING btree
  (target);

Create network build function

Now we will create a function to use the roadlink table and the grade separation and one way views to populate the network table we created in the previous step.

-- Function: create_itn_network()

-- DROP FUNCTION create_itn_network();

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION create_itn_network()

ALTER FUNCTION create_itn_network()
  OWNER TO postgres;

To run the function and populate the itn_network table do:

SELECT create_itn_network();

Wait a while (depending on how large your network is) and then check the table when the function has finished running. So now we have a table with all the network fields in it and some of the information populated. Let's add some more.

Populate pgRouting fields

pgRouting requires a number of field to be present and populated in order for the routing algorithms to work. First, update the coordinates for the start and end of the road link. This is used in the astar, TSP and bdAstar functions.

UPDATE itn_network 
SET x1 = st_x(st_startpoint(geometry)),
  y1 = st_y(st_startpoint(geometry)),
  x2 = st_x(st_endpoint(geometry)),
  y2 = st_y(st_endpoint(geometry));

pgRouting use costs to determine the best routes across the network. Costs can be time based (what is the quickest route?) or distance based (what is the shortest route?). Reverse costs are also calculated which allows pgRouting to take into account one way streets and turn restrictions.

UPDATE itn_network
SET cost_len = ST_Length(geometry),
  rcost_len = ST_Length(geometry);

Setting costs for one way streets using the "rl_attribute" set earlier in the network build function.

UPDATE itn_network SET cost_len = ST_Length(geometry) WHERE rl_attribute < 500; --two way streets
UPDATE itn_network SET rcost_len = ST_Length(geometry) WHERE rl_attribute < 500; --two way streets
UPDATE itn_network SET cost_len = ST_Length(geometry) WHERE rl_attribute > 500 and rl_attribute < 1000; --one way streets in digitised direction
UPDATE itn_network SET rcost_len = cost_len*1000 WHERE rl_attribute > 500 and rl_attribute < 1000; --one way streets in digitised direction
UPDATE itn_network SET cost_len = ST_Length(geometry)*1000 WHERE rl_attribute > 1000; --one way streets against digitised direction
UPDATE itn_network SET rcost_len = ST_Length(geometry) WHERE rl_attribute > 1000; --one way streets against digitised direction

pgRouting offers some tools to analyse your road network for valid one way streets and we can use those to check for errors. First we need to populate the "one_way" field with the values required for the function to work:

UPDATE itn_network SET one_way = 'B' WHERE rl_attribute < 500;
UPDATE itn_network SET one_way = 'TF' WHERE rl_attribute > 500 AND rl_attribute < 1000;
UPDATE itn_network SET one_way = 'FT' WHERE rl_attribute > 1000;

Calculate network time costs

One big update for all the road links. Sets an average speed in km/h for each link depending on road class and nature of road.

UPDATE itn_network SET 
	rl_speed = CASE WHEN descriptiveterm = 'A Road' AND natureofroad = 'Dual Carriageway' THEN 100
	WHEN descriptiveterm = 'A Road' AND natureofroad = 'Roundabout' THEN 40
	WHEN descriptiveterm = 'A Road' AND natureofroad = 'Single Carriageway' THEN 70
	WHEN descriptiveterm = 'A Road' AND natureofroad = 'Slip Road' THEN 40
	WHEN descriptiveterm = 'A Road' AND natureofroad = 'Traffic Island Link' THEN 40
	WHEN descriptiveterm = 'A Road' AND natureofroad = 'Traffic Island Link At Junction' THEN 40
	WHEN descriptiveterm = 'Alley' AND natureofroad = 'Single Carriageway' THEN 5
	WHEN descriptiveterm = 'B Road' AND natureofroad = 'Dual Carriageway' THEN 80
	WHEN descriptiveterm = 'B Road' AND natureofroad = 'Roundabout' THEN 40
	WHEN descriptiveterm = 'B Road' AND natureofroad = 'Single Carriageway' THEN 60
	WHEN descriptiveterm = 'B Road' AND natureofroad = 'Slip Road' THEN 40
	WHEN descriptiveterm = 'B Road' AND natureofroad = 'Traffic Island Link' THEN 40
	WHEN descriptiveterm = 'B Road' AND natureofroad = 'Traffic Island Link At Junction' THEN 40
	WHEN descriptiveterm = 'Local Street' AND natureofroad = 'Dual Carriageway' THEN 40
	WHEN descriptiveterm = 'Local Street' AND natureofroad = 'Roundabout' THEN 30
	WHEN descriptiveterm = 'Local Street' AND natureofroad = 'Single Carriageway' THEN 40
	WHEN descriptiveterm = 'Local Street' AND natureofroad = 'Slip Road' THEN 30
	WHEN descriptiveterm = 'Local Street' AND natureofroad = 'Traffic Island Link' THEN 30
	WHEN descriptiveterm = 'Local Street' AND natureofroad = 'Traffic Island Link At Junction' THEN 30
	WHEN descriptiveterm = 'Local Street' AND natureofroad = 'Enclosed Traffic Area Link' THEN 10
	WHEN descriptiveterm = 'Minor Road' AND natureofroad = 'Dual Carriageway' THEN 50
	WHEN descriptiveterm = 'Minor Road' AND natureofroad = 'Roundabout' THEN 30
	WHEN descriptiveterm = 'Minor Road' AND natureofroad = 'Single Carriageway' THEN 50
	WHEN descriptiveterm = 'Minor Road' AND natureofroad = 'Slip Road' THEN 30
	WHEN descriptiveterm = 'Minor Road' AND natureofroad = 'Traffic Island Link' THEN 30
	WHEN descriptiveterm = 'Minor Road' AND natureofroad = 'Traffic Island Link At Junction' THEN 30
	WHEN descriptiveterm = 'Motorway' AND natureofroad = 'Dual Carriageway' THEN 120
	WHEN descriptiveterm = 'Motorway' AND natureofroad = 'Roundabout' THEN 40
	WHEN descriptiveterm = 'Motorway' AND natureofroad = 'Single Carriageway' THEN 100
	WHEN descriptiveterm = 'Motorway' AND natureofroad = 'Slip Road' THEN 40
	WHEN descriptiveterm = 'Pedestrianised Street' AND natureofroad = 'Single Carriageway' THEN 1
	WHEN descriptiveterm = 'Private Road - Publicly Accessible' AND natureofroad = 'Dual Carriageway' THEN 80
	WHEN descriptiveterm = 'Private Road - Publicly Accessible' AND natureofroad = 'Enclosed Traffic Area Link' THEN 40
	WHEN descriptiveterm = 'Private Road - Publicly Accessible' AND natureofroad = 'Roundabout' THEN 40
	WHEN descriptiveterm = 'Private Road - Publicly Accessible' AND natureofroad = 'Single Carriageway' THEN 60
	WHEN descriptiveterm = 'Private Road - Publicly Accessible' AND natureofroad = 'Slip Road' THEN 40
	WHEN descriptiveterm = 'Private Road - Publicly Accessible' AND natureofroad = 'Traffic Island Link' THEN 40
	WHEN descriptiveterm = 'Private Road - Publicly Accessible' AND natureofroad = 'Traffic Island Link At Junction' THEN 40
	WHEN descriptiveterm = 'Private Road - Restricted Access' AND natureofroad = 'Dual Carriageway' THEN 5
	WHEN descriptiveterm = 'Private Road - Restricted Access' AND natureofroad = 'Enclosed Traffic Area Link' THEN 5
	WHEN descriptiveterm = 'Private Road - Restricted Access' AND natureofroad = 'Roundabout' THEN 5
	WHEN descriptiveterm = 'Private Road - Restricted Access' AND natureofroad = 'Single Carriageway' THEN 5
	WHEN descriptiveterm = 'Private Road - Restricted Access' AND natureofroad = 'Slip Road' THEN 5
	WHEN descriptiveterm = 'Private Road - Restricted Access' AND natureofroad = 'Traffic Island Link' THEN 5
	WHEN descriptiveterm = 'Private Road - Restricted Access' AND natureofroad = 'Traffic Island Link At Junction' THEN 5
	ELSE null END;

Then use the speed and road link length to calculate a time cost for each road link.

UPDATE itn_network SET
  cost_time = CASE
    WHEN one_way='FT' THEN 10000.0
    ELSE ST_Length(geometry)/1000.0/rl_speed::numeric*3600.0
    END,
  rcost_time = CASE
    WHEN one_way='TF' THEN 10000.0
    ELSE ST_Length(geometry)/1000.0/rl_speed::numeric*3600.0
    END;

Check the table to make sure the fields have been updated with appropriate values. Now it's time to build the network.

Build pgRouting topology

SELECT pgr_createTopology('osmm_itn.itn_network', 0.001, 'wkb_geometry', 'gid', 'source', 'target');

This create a new table in the database called itn_network_vertices_pgr and contains the nodes joining the links of the network.

Analyse network topology

It's a good idea to analyse your network topology once create to give you an idea of any potential errors.

SELECT pgr_analyzeGraph('osmm_itn.itn_network', 0.001, 'wkb_geometry', 'gid', 'source', 'target'); 

Find links with problems

SELECT * FROM itn_network_vertices_pgr WHERE chk = 1;

Find links with deadends

SELECT * FROM itn_network_vertices_pgr WHERE cnt = 1;

Find isolated segments (deadends at both ends)

SELECT * FROM itn_network a, itn_network_vertices_pgr b, itn_network_vertices_pgr c WHERE a.source = b.id AND b.cnt = 1 AND a.target = c.id AND c.cnt = 1;

Get some stats about your one way streets as well.

SELECT pgr_analyzeOneway('osmm_itn.itn_network',
        ARRAY['', 'B', 'TF'],
        ARRAY['', 'B', 'FT'],
        ARRAY['', 'B', 'FT'],
        ARRAY['', 'B', 'TF'],
        oneway:='one_way'
        );

Find nodes with potential problems

SELECT * FROM itn_network_vertices_pgr WHERE ein = 0 OR eout = 0;

Find the links attached to the problem nodes

SELECT gid FROM itn_network a, itn_network_vertices_pgr b WHERE a.source=b.id AND ein=0 OR eout=0
  UNION
SELECT gid FROM itn_network a, itn_network_vertices_pgr b WHERE a.target=b.id AND ein=0 OR eout=0;

pgRouting and QGIS

Your network table is now ready for some quick and dirty routing. Install the pgRouting Layer plugin in QGIS and you have an easy to use interface to all the pgRouting functionality. Plugin details here: http://plugins.qgis.org/plugins/pgRoutingLayer/

Further enhancements

The network can be enhanced by modelling no turn restrictions, mandatory turn restrictions, grade separations and no entry streets. The sections below outline the process. There is much room for improvement here and this section may change as I work out better ways of doing things.

Create no turn restrictions

No Turn

Builds a turn table in pgRouting format from all links in the network with a "No Turn" restriction. The turn is defined as the series of links which form the turn. The turn restriction table lists the restrictions that prevent a route across the network using those links.

Create some views used to start the No Turn build process:

-- View: view_rrirl_one_way
-- DROP VIEW view_rrirl_one_way;
CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW view_rrirl_one_way AS 
	SELECT rrirl.roadlink_fid, 
	array_to_string(rri.directedlink_orientation,', ') AS directedlink_orientation, array_to_string(rri.environmentqualifier_instruction,', ') AS environmentqualifier, 
	rri.fid AS rri_fid, 
	rl.wkb_geometry
	FROM roadrouteinformation rri, roadrouteinformation_roadlink rrirl, roadlink rl
	WHERE rrirl.roadrouteinformation_fid = rri.fid 
	AND rrirl.roadlink_fid = rl.fid
	AND rri.environmentqualifier_instruction::text = '{"One Way"}'::text;

Turns can be made up of a number of edges, or links, and the views below select out each link in turn. The query below will tell you how many views to create - one for each value in the table. For my example, ITN for Tayside, I have three values:

Grade separation turn restrictions

Grade separation

As an alternative to merging the elevate roadlinks into single sections you can build a turn restriction table that prevents turns to and from links with different grade separations or heights.

Build up an initial view of all nodes in the network

WITH (
  OIDS=FALSE
);
ALTER TABLE itn_gs_nt_restrictions
  OWNER TO postgres;
COMMENT ON TABLE itn_gs_nt_restrictions
  IS 'ITN Grade Separated Turn Restrictions';

Insert the values into the grade separation turn restriction table:

INSERT INTO itn_gs_nt_restrictions(rid,feid,teid)
  SELECT objectid AS rid,
  edge1fid AS feid,
  edge2fid AS teid 
  FROM view_rrirl_gs_nt v
  WHERE v.edge2fid <> 0
  AND v.edge2fid NOT IN (SELECT DISTINCT t.teid FROM itn_gs_nt_restrictions t WHERE t.rid = v.objectid);
  
UPDATE itn_gs_nt_restrictions SET to_cost = 9999;

Test this in QGIS with the pgRouting Layer plugin and the TRSP(vertext) or (edge) functions. The turn restriction SQL to use is:

'select to_cost, teid as target_id, feid||coalesce('',''||via,'''') as via_path from itn_gs_nt_restrictions'

This eliminates the need to mess around with merging elevated geometries and just uses the turn restrictions and costs to route across the network.

Combine Turn Restrictions

We have now created four turn restriction tables - no entries, mandatory turns, no turns and grade separations.

itn_nt_restrictions
itn_gs_nt_restrictions
itn_mt_nt_restrictions
itn_ne_nt_restrictions

These can all be tested in QGIS using the Trun Restricted Shortest Path function. Let's combine these so all turn restrictions are in one table. The No Turn restrictions already exist so we'll add the other turns to the same table:

INSERT INTO itn_nt_restrictions(rid,feid,teid)
  SELECT row_number() over() AS rid,
  v.feid AS feid,
  v.teid AS teid
  FROM itn_gs_nt_restrictions v -- Grade Separation Turn Restrictions
  WHERE v.teid <> 0
  AND v.teid NOT IN (SELECT DISTINCT t.teid 
  FROM itn_nt_restrictions t 
  WHERE t.rid = v.rid) 
UNION
  SELECT row_number() over() AS rid,
  v.feid AS feid,
  v.teid AS teid
  FROM itn_mt_nt_restrictions v -- Mandatory Turn Restrictions
  WHERE v.teid <> 0
  AND v.teid NOT IN (SELECT DISTINCT t.teid 
  FROM itn_nt_restrictions t 
  WHERE t.rid = v.rid)
UNION
  SELECT row_number() over() AS rid,
  v.feid AS feid,
  v.teid AS teid
  FROM itn_ne_nt_restrictions v -- No Entry Turn Restrictions
  WHERE v.teid <> 0
  AND v.teid NOT IN (SELECT DISTINCT t.teid 
  FROM itn_nt_restrictions t 
  WHERE t.rid = v.rid);

Use the following SQL in QGIS to test the turn restrictions:

'select to_cost, teid as target_id, feid||coalesce('',''||via,'''') as via_path from itn_nt_restrictions'

Other bits

ITN contains a lot of information in the RRI tables. You can add height restrictions to your network. I'm not sure how to get pgRouting to use it but build it in and it will come...

First, create a view to cross reference the roadlink and roadlinkinformation tables.

CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW osmm_itn.roadlinkinformation_roadlink AS 
 SELECT a.roadlinkinformation_fid,
    replace(a.roadlink_fid, '#'::text, ''::text) AS roadlink_fid

            roadlinkinformation.referencetoroadlink_href::text AS roadlink_fid

ALTER TABLE osmm_itn.roadlinkinformation_roadlink
  OWNER TO postgres;
COMMENT ON VIEW osmm_itn.roadlinkinformation_roadlink
  IS 'Road link information cross reference view';

Then create a view of the links with height restrictions:

CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW view_itn_heightrestriction AS 
 SELECT rl.fid AS roadlink_fid,
  array_to_string(rli.environmentqualifier_classification, ', '::text) AS environmentqualifier_classification,

  AND rli.fid = rlirl.roadlinkinformation_fid

COMMENT ON VIEW view_itn_heightrestriction
  IS 'ITN bridge height restrictions';

Finally, update the network table with the height restrictions:

UPDATE itn_network SET rl_height = CAST(ht.rl_height AS numeric) 
FROM view_itn_heightrestriction ht 
WHERE itn_network.toid = ht.roadlink_fid;

In closing

Well done for making it this far. It took me several months to get here. You should now have a working network based on ITN complete with turn restrictions. The guide is intended to be used as a "copy and paste" exercise and I think there are enough comments in here to help you out. Some of the views I turned into tables and added both spatial gist and btree indexes on relevant fields to speed things up. This can be done simply through:

CREATE TABLE my_table AS SELECT * FROM my_view;
