How to use Rails routing without resources, with use only ids

Question

Description.

I want filtering product on my site, but I won't use nested resources.

Filtering has 4 level.

For example,

https://example.com/london/car/bmw/red

or

https://example.com/:city/:category/:brand/:color

routes.rb

get '/:one_id', to: 'categories#show', as: 'category_one'
get '/:one_id/:two_id', to: 'categories#show', as: 'category_two'
get '/:one_id/:two_id/:three_id', to: 'categories#show', as: 'category_three'
get '/:one_id/:two_id/:three_id/:four_id', to: 'categories#show', as: 'category_four'

Why I use names id like ":one_id", ":two_id" etc.?

Because ": one_id" may contain multiple objects (filters).

For example,

https://example.com/london/

https://example.com/bmw/

https://example.com/woman/

ie, ":one_id" may be city, category or sex (multiple entity) and ":two_id" may be category, brand or color, etc.

Question:

What are the best practices for organizing such routing?

Configuration:

Ruby 2.5.1
