> At the moment the Distance Calculation and Static Distance Calulation are using the using the ‘haversine’ formula [1].
> But the result can be improved:
> Issue:
> Calc distance between Karlsruhe and New York:
> StreamPipes: 6230.166 km
> reference PostGIS: 6246.970 km
> --> Difference of ~17 km or 0,26 % error
> Calc distance between Karlsruhe and Rastatt:
> StreamPipes: 21.87866 km
> reference PostGIS: 21.908 km
> --> Difference of ~0,029 km or 0,13 % error
> Solution:
> Using GeographicLib as Library under MIT Licende [3][4]
> Using Geodesy Algorithm resolving different problems mentions in this paper [5]
