Just curious: Where did you heard about that Dennis moved to Apple :) ?

Some clarification:

* the process of the route finding is done by Dijkstra or A* or with a preprocessing (CH)

* valhalla does not use CH to my knowledge

* route optimization requires a completely different technique and valhalla does not do this

> "The OP (Mapzen's Valhalla) appears to have a similar approach as OSRM"

no :) ! OSRM is limited to CH (really fast) and valhalla is limited to Dijkstra/A* (really flexible).



@karussell,

For a public source, Dennis Luxen updated his Linkedin profile.

Thanks for adding your knowledge about the internals of Valhalla code.


ah, easy, thanks :) !
