Hi, i would like to inform you about a project we are working on in
CERTH -HIT research institute in Greece. We need to edit/add some
information in osm using josm about Civil Protection and Disaster
Management of a specific area and after the end, the project will be
available for use in other areas and countries. More specifically, at
first we need the information given about the roads of the small town
Amyndeo and the roads nearby. We'll need to add the capacity (how many
vehicles pass from this way in an hour) of these roads according to
their characteristics (name, lanes, speed limit, directions, turn
restrictions etc). If they are not given we'll have to add those, too.
After we have finished with that, we'll need to add some other
information about the area of the western Macedonia. We'll need to
take into account the probability of disasters either natural or human
(industrial etc) and the possibility to solve them using the
transportation web. So we'll have to know if there are any fire
brigades, what are the ground limits of each fire department, where
lakes, rivers, forests, sea and housing exist, if there are factories,
industrial buildings, public buildings in the area we are concerned
about.
To do that we'll need to change some tags, such as wrong street
names or type of highway (if there's something wrong), and add some
new ones, so that our programmers will find the specific tags and make
use of them to simulate the disaster management.
We suggest those tags:
maxspeed (add/edit the speed limits according to the signs, the
personal knowledge and the traffic police)
lanes (same with above)
oneway=yes/no (same with above)
name:en (the exact name in English)
name:el (the exact name in Greek)
capacity (the maximum number of vehicles per hour)
Also, we'll need to add some boundaries about the fire departments
limits. We suggest to use the fire_boundary=yes tag and relations with
the type=boundary (name:en and name:el too)
We haven't encounter any other problem yet as the project is ongoing.
We request your suggestions about the tags or any other comment
about our effort.
Thank you,
Petros Kleidaras
