<p>We have a reasonable if not perfect tagging system for a router
to assess (and make assumptions) about the quality of a road for
various types of vehicle in BEST CASE conditions. motorway versus
track, tracktype, asphalt versus gravel being the main ones.<br>
</p>
<p>From a router point of view it would be nice to dynamically place
routing penalties on roads or stretches of road according to
temperature, snow, rain, side wind (and ?). Simplistically, input
"snow" and pick up from OSM tags advising "often impassable in
snow" or "snow chains advised in winter" and then the router can
decide how much penalty to apply given projected conditions and
vehicle type.</p>
<p>Sounds reasonably simple to devise and implement. I've played
mentally with the same idea for suggesting footpath routes that
vary depending on the weather.<br>
</p>
<p>More esoterically and more real time would be a community project
to develop an open overlay database of transient data where the
public and/or authorities can label osm ways with advisories
quantitative enough for routers to again assess a routing penalty.
The obvious starting point would be a simply "closed".<br>
