Please contact me (robert-geisberger@web.de) if you are using the source code as I am very interested in the possible applications that arise from using it.
This program allows to create and test contraction hierarchies (CH), a hierarchical, shortcut-based speedup technique for fast and simple routing in road networks. The code was created as part of a diploma thesis at Universitaet Karlsruhe (TH), Institute for Algorithmics II.

You can create a development project in Xcode:
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -G Xcode ..
cd ..
open contraction-hierarchies.xcodeproj
In docs/index.html, there are some examples what command-line arguments can be used to create a CH and perform tests.

In the subfolder many/ is a test program for fast many-to-many distance table computations. However, the source code and the command-line arguments are well not documented well. It is an implementation of the algorithm desribed in the paper
