Dear all, Just wanted to share a twitter post I did a while back -
https://twitter.com/shirishag75/status/977230045528772608 The only work I see is somebody tracing the whole path using GPS and making tracepoints on Pune Metro route using leafletjs or something similar as a layer. Then the contractor just need to upload snapshots+GPS location and we have a map of how work is progressing either on EOD (End of Day) or EOW (End of Week) . A side-benefit of the project could also be we would have stats of how things are progressing which could be used for data visualization as well as who the contractors are in case things go wrong either now or in future. It's probably the oldest idea in the world, especially if someone has seen the 1994 Keanu Reaves movie http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0111257/ . See the part where the police officers have an updated map of where work is ongoing and not completed, this is a bit before the bridge jump scene. Of course that is/was 1994 in Hollywood and this is 2018 in Pune, India but still comparisons can be made especially with foss tools being available which were not there at the time the movie was made. The route is already shared at http://www.punemetrorail.org/img/rout_map.jpg but its a pretty down-scaled version so maybe a more fleshed out version with GPS coordinates might be needed. The only other map I could find out is from a gentleman called the metrorailguy http://themetrorailguy.com/pune-metro-information-map-updates/ which uses googleapis which I have found to be pretty inconsistent in many case, especially for finding places. I am open to be part of a mapping party if somebody who either has the need or/and expertise to lead the project. I do have osm on my phone. I do know Nikhil tried in the past something similar with the PMC bus routes but for number of reasons outside of his control couldn't get much traction. This is a much more easier problem to deal as there are not as many routes as PMC has so if students do decide to do it, they would have a much easier time with it. Abhijit and Nikhil could be good guiding lights for the smallish project. -- Regards, Shirish Agarwal शिरीष अग्रवाल My quotes in this email licensed under CC 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/ http://flossexperiences.wordpress.com EB80 462B 08E1 A0DE A73A 2C2F 9F3D C7A4 E1C4 D2D8 -- Datameet is a community of Data Science enthusiasts in India.
