MapFusion’s Proprietary Routing Subsystem (RSS) was designed and developed to enable MapFusion’s existing ASP architecture to create routes based on user-specified origins, destinations, route attributes and other amenity factors. The RSS has been designed to run on a dedicated server, interfacing with MapFusion’s ASP solution via an extremely efficient communication gateway. Both route specific and non-route specific amenity information can be seamlessly integrated into the final solution to account for varying parameters to determine the final route. The solution has been designed to run on a variety of different operating systems to maximize its benefits in the environment in which it is deployed.

There are five principal components that define the overall utility of the RSS:

1) XML input;
2) XML output;
3) routing metadata;
4) amenity profiling;

The MapFusion Routing Subsystem takes advantage of extremely efficient proprietary algorithms, providing unsurpassed speed and flexibility taking into account a variety of input parameters such as weather, traffic congestion, demographics, omission of road segments or toll roads. The system provides ultimate flexibility to allow new parameters to be added without affecting the underlying code. An interactive route solution comparison module allows users to weight the importance of particular inputs and adjust them according to the corresponding output. The engine was built to maximize flexibility to allow the routing of any type of vehicle. For example, following types of routes can be processed: street routing, walking, nautical navigation, airplane routing and terrain routing. Both multi-point routing and point-to-point routing are possible with an unlimited number of waypoints (stops) which can be added as needed.		Routes are displayed visually on the map, accompanied by turn-by-turn directions
