[OSM-talk] TMC data import

[Edoardo Marascalchi]

hi,
some days ago, in the italian mailing list, niubii pointed us to the 
italian TMC dataset [1].

The dataset contains all the italian motorways and main roads, and if we 
can use it (we are contacting the administration to ask about the 
licence) it could be a great improvement of the italian map.

I think everybody should check the dataset avaibility and usability in 
his country, it should be in the same format all over the world.

I'm coding a php set of scripts to import it to a mysql db (i managed to 
do it) and then to to OSM database via API and/or .osm files.
In the next days i will try to generate a couple of .osm files of some 
main roads to verify the data quality.

Right now i'm thinking how to reference the TMC data, and i think i will 
use a
tmc : tmc_code = tmc_id
