[OSM-talk-be] Firefighters and OSM

[Glenn Plas]

It would be very interesting to also get their datasets concerning 
fire_hydrants, water sources and all other relevant info needed for the 
job,
OSM has got established keys for that.  That would really lift up the 
usefulness.

I've micromapped those before and it's very difficult to find their 
specs (diameter, type, ref and such) if you're not into the firefighting 
scene.

As for routing purposes, I would suggest looking at pgrouting code , 
very performant https://github.com/pgRouting/pgrouting.

Het zou inderdaad handig zijn om dit nog meer open te trekken naar 
brandkranen en ander waterbronnen.  Ze zouden deze informatie kunnen 
combineren voor nog efficienter tewerk te gaan.  Ik heb al een paar keer 
dit soort dingen gemicromapped maar het vinden van accurate informatie 
was heel moeilijk (zelfs met foto van de ref. plaatjes ter plekke).  Als 
je als leek in die wereld begeeft extra moeilijk.

Als ze dat soort data zouden willen toevoegen in OSM, zou fantastisch 
zijn kwa mogelijkheden naderhand.

Bekijk zeker ook de link hierboven omtrent routing engines.

Zeer interessant gegeven.
