Learn about the spin off for vehicle routing problems. pgRouting extends the PostGIS / PostgreSQL geospatial database to provide geospatial routing functionality. Advantages of the database routing approach are:

• Data and attributes can be modified by many clients, like QGIS through JDBC, ODBC, or directly using Pl/pgSQL. The clients can either be PCs or mobile devices.
• Data changes can be reflected instantaneously through the routing engine.
• The “cost” parameter can be dynamically calculated through SQL and its value can come from multiple fields or tables.
