<DIV><SPAN class=100114022-19072010><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff>i want to

<DIV><SPAN class=100114022-19072010><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff>About two
years ago, a project started at the locally university in augsburg (at
geographic computer-science department) to collect data from the inner area in
augsburg, how the (foot)ways could be used by persons in wheelchairs or with
walker (US) oder zimmer (GB) (in german: rollator). The city government
supported the university with money and with technical support from their local
geographic department.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=100114022-19072010><FONT face=Arial

<DIV><SPAN class=100114022-19072010><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff>Students from
the university collected the data, based on some forms, which detailted data to
get. They took tablet pcs with onboard high resolution bitmap pictures
from air. The data went into an open licensed gis (geographic information
system) and additionally microsoft database.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=100114022-19072010><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff>* narrow
points on (foot)ways, where its smaller than 1.20m in width. Reason are too
small footways, signs as barriers, other things, which decrease the width of the
ways to lower than 1.20m</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=100114022-19072010><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff>* tram and

<DIV><SPAN class=100114022-19072010><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff>* transferse
inclination as areas. Most times, reason is a sloped curb oder a bad builded
footway.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=100114022-19072010><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff>* standard

<DIV><SPAN class=100114022-19072010><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff></FONT></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=100114022-19072010><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff>In total, the
project has about 3.850 data records. one-third are sloped curbs (not complete
footways, only a short or longer way-part, where it is lowered).
</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=100114022-19072010><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff></FONT></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=100114022-19072010><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff>In a first
step, i got the agrrement to import the data in openstreetmap with our acutla
cc-by-sa 2.0 license for a test area, which is about 15% of the complete project
area, with about 500 data records.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=100114022-19072010><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff></FONT></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=100114022-19072010><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff>At the osm
wiki page, i describe in german the details data structure with all fields and
their appearance as point data, ways or areas (closed ways in osm) and the
transformation from the project fieldnames to their equivalents in osm, if
available.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=100114022-19072010><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff>Some data
don't have a tags in osm, so i took some temporarily tags and try to discuss the
future tags in osm (hard work, because of a lot of wiki pages, which are
available, but are not consistent).</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=100114022-19072010><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff></FONT></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=100114022-19072010><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff>Now, i'm
nearly finished the inport, but not the integration of the data. The sloped
curbs are my biggest problem, because they are most of the time only short
segments, and i declared them as a new barrier type
barrier=curb.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=100114022-19072010><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff></FONT></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=100114022-19072010><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff>My actual
todos are:</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=100114022-19072010><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff>* integration
of some layers (steps are not useable at all, because they have not correct
position)</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=100114022-19072010><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff>* waiting for
a further data source: i can get the public buildings with city person contacts
as polygons in a short time</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=100114022-19072010><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff>* i try to
build render rules for osmarend renderer. At this time, only to demonstrate the
possibility to build a map offline (unfortunately) and with layer zoom 17 and 18
at this time.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=100114022-19072010><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff>* i try to
build a map for my garmin gsp logger: both for integration of the project data
on field and for demonstration for late use by the disabled
persons.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=100114022-19072010><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff>* waiting for
last questions about interpreting some detailes of the project data by
university.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=100114022-19072010><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff></FONT></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=100114022-19072010><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff>Next
steps:</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=100114022-19072010><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff>* give the
signal to the project members and demonstrate the kind of integration in
openstreetmap</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=100114022-19072010><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff>* get the go
signals for rest of data import</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=100114022-19072010><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff>* continue
the data collection (next year, a few times, in augsburg there will be a few
games of the women soccer world-championship. This is a big push for the city
government to get more data for disabled persons, because they want to show
their support to those groups.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=100114022-19072010><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff>I cannot
translate the osm wiki page at all to english version, but hope, that this post
is enough for you to get informed about this osm import
project.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
