The universal Brouter profile template for bike profiles, focused on Trekking

• The Trekking-Poutnik(+) profile template, is used for the creation of selected Bicycle profiles at BRouter profiles repository.

  • (+)To distinguish it from the standard Trekking profile

• You can derive profiles not contained at above from the Template file by 2 ways.

  • 1/ Use modification table below ( needs update ).
  • 2/ Use this advanced user guide for the profile generation

Profile name/code	What to change / was changed	Comment
Trekking-Dry	Nothing	Template default content is identical to this profile
-Wet	assign iswet 1	Penalizes way in potentially muddy or slicky conditions
-FCR- (FollowCycleRoute)	assign cycleroutes_pref 0.6 ( default 0.2 )	Stronger preference of cycleroutes than the default one. It is similar to Stick_to_cycleroutes of standard Trekking profile, but the router preferences work differently in my profiled. E.g. routes are not automatically taken as perfect with costfactor 1.0, neither have the zero turncost and the effect is not linear.
	There are 3 levels of route preference effect.
	Level1-cycleroutes_pref	Values >0.0 up to 1.0 prefer long distance cycleroutes and penalize non cycleroutes. Value 1.0 make long distance routes always perfect, non-routes get doubled costfactor. Local routes stay always intact.
	Level2-routelevel	Determines cycleroutes considered as local, by default local and regional ones
	Level3-costfactor	Effect is minimal for optimal ways and becomes stronger for higher costfactor values
-ICR-	assign cycleroutes_pref 0.0	No preference for cycleroutes.
-SameCR	assign routelevel 4	Consider local/regional routes as long distance routes
Trekking-MTB-light	assign MTB_factor 0.2	See Trekking-MTB-Profiles-legend
Trekking-MTB-medium	assign MTB_factor 0.5
Trekking-MTB-strong	assign MTB_factor 1.0
Trekking-Fast	assign MTB_factor -0.5	"Anti-MTB"
MTB-light	assign MTB_factor 1.0	See Locus forum post
		See also MTB_factor-and-smallpaved_factor
	assign smallpaved_factor -0.3
MTB	assign MTB_factor 2.0
	assign smallpaved_factor -0.5
Trekking-Valley	assign hills 4	Strongly penalizes ascends/descends. Prefers large
		percentage of flat-like route along the valleys
SmallRoads	assign MTB_factor -1.7	Prefers way classes approx since terciary roads
	assign smallpaved_factor 2.0	to paved tracks
