Could you build this?
Partial Custom routing on an open-source engine (like OSRM or Valhalla) is well-understood, but obtaining accurate, up-to-date geographic datasets of automated license plate reader (ALPR) cameras requires extensive crowdsourcing or scraping public records.
What it would actually take: The technical stack needs an open-source routing engine (such as Valhalla, GraphHopper, or OSRM) modified with custom edge-cost weighting penalties near ALPR camera coordinates. The primary blocker is sourcing comprehensive, verified spatial datasets of Flock Safety and other ALPR camera locations, typically requiring FOIA requests, community scraping, or ongoing crowdsourced verification pipelines.
