[OSM-talk-be] Fietsknooppuntennetwerk/Cycle node network

[Jo]

Hi,

I'm working on the cycle node network in Flanders/Southern Netherlands.

I created a collection relation:

http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/relation/1726882

This should make it a lot more convenient to find all the
nodes/routes/networks involved in the rcn. Fiddling with XAPI and such is
not very productive... It's extremely time consuming and very error prone.

Which contains a network relation for each set of numbered nodes (where each
set contains only one time 01,02, etc) (I'm working without the maps of
Toerisme Vlaanderen, so I had to improvise for the naming and where to make
a subdivision)

For the moment I'm abusing the role to add the node number. This works
easier and is only temporary. I'll take them all out again, when I'm done
inventorizing.

The network relations contain the route relations. As far as I'm concerned,
the route relations don't need to contain the nodes anymore. They are part
of the ways, anyway. So the route relations should only contain (a
preferably) continuous set of nodes. I try to have them start at the lower
numbered node. If the forward and backward relation don't follow the same
route, I use forward/backward roles. The idea I'm following is that it
should be possible to go from the lower numbered to the higher numbered node
by following all the ways without a role until ways with forward roles are
met. Then all the ways with forward roles until a way with a backward role
is found. Then skip the ways with backward roles and continue with the ways
without a role.

All this, because I want to be able to 'validate' the routes for continuity
with a script/program and this will probably simplify the life of the people
of Fietsnet as well.

I'll post an example to illustrate later on.
