Also if people from college take it up it would be much more doable. It would also enable distribution of the said knowledge. Having more people learning about osm would be a good thing IMHO. Secondly, pune metro regularly does what it says metro samvaad where they are open to people who come up with suggestions as well as concrete implementation details. The most recent samvaad they held was in MIT just few days ago - https://twitter.com/metrorailpune/status/978270832106467328 The possibility of the buy-in should be high as they already advertise the on-going work on their twitter feed https://twitter.com/metrorailpune and most 10k phones already have the GPS sensor built-in. Even the raw data for web-gis should also be in public domain as they did make a DPR which was approved by the center. Whoever takes the photo already might be uploading to some semi-automated upload or web api hook to post for the twitter feed. They might just be downscaling the picture and removing the GPS locator info. although twitter also does remove GPS location details for privacy concerns IIRC. As far as I understand it, there is a team in Nagpur which does all the front-end and back-end web development work but haven't heard anything from them till date. https://twitter.com/metrorailpune/status/979744773622788096 http://punemetrorail.org/download/PuneMetro-DPR.pdf It is a pretty detailed report but then the DPR was made by Delhi Metro Rail so was perhaps expected to be thorough. I was not able to see if they had shared any GPS coords though. [slightly OT] AFAIK Pune Metro has been trying to keep sanctity of the DPR as far as the route is concerned. In fact, in one of the threads on the twitter feed I read about one of the places where the foundation for the pillar was not the usual hard rock they have been lucky to find in most of the places and they dumped whole lot of cement and other expensive strengthening material before the pillar would be erected. AFAIK the pillars are supposed to be strong enough to take the whole load of the metro cars, driver cabin consist but then I'm no civil engineer :) [/OT] > Regards, > Devdatta > -- 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.
