-**Flexibility**: Valhalla's main selling point is the dynamic request parameterization most other routing engines lack while maintaining a good performance with a low memory footprint. Each route request can be calculated with a different set of costings, penalties and factors, of which [there are many](https://github.com/valhalla/valhalla/blob/master/docs/api/turn-by-turn/api-reference.md#automobile-and-bus-costing-options), on top of the statically defined profiles (sorry Kevin, "costing models" of course ;)).

-**RAM requirements**: Due to its genius decision to route on a [**tiled, hierarchical** graph](https://valhalla.readthedocs.io/en/latest/tiles/) (similar to e.g. map tiles) and the clever tile loading mechanisms, Valhalla can run on very modest hardware like a low-end smartphone or a Raspberry Pi for regional road datasets. The OSM planet builds easily on a standard laptop with 16 GB RAM **for all profiles** within 12ish hours.

-**Time dependent routing and traffic**: Valhalla is time-aware and that is quite unique in this field. One can specify departure or arrival time and Valhalla's algorithms will consider temporal restrictions and live or historical traffic data sources while calculating the route.

-**Features**: Of course it has all the "standard" features, such as routing, isochrones and matrix. Additionally Valhalla offers: map matching, multimodal routing, elevation querying, a simple Traveling Salesman solver and a fully integrated Python SDK. Recently a world-renowned company even published a [QGIS Plugin](https://plugins.qgis.org/plugins/valhalla/) (eheheh :joy:).
