Not sure if they're still doing it, but I vaguely recall both Trimet and
Portland Streetcar used OpenStreetMap for station vicinity maps.

Hi Jo

I'm not sure about what your audience are sceptic and if they have GIS
background

One could categorize examples into open topographic data (ev.
optimized for thematic overlays; not only prerendered styling) and
open data for spatial analyses, management, planning, and decision
support.

To me these are the most common uses of spatial data - besides spatial
analyses, management, planning, and decision support:
A. Individually styled topographic base map.
B. Map as entry page to apps (e.g. where are our customers?) as an
alternative to the usual text and list app entries.
C. Geoname search and geocoding.
D. Point-of-Interests.
E. Routing/Navigation

Here are some examples I know of out of my head:
* OpenEcoMap - a map portraying socio-ecological infrastructure for
Swiss landscape planners: http://openecomap.hsr.ch/
* POI Tour - a personalized round tour planner for pedestrians (aka
online tourist guide): http://poitour.ch/

Related use cases, less specific:
* Many commercial traffic management systems are using OSM data as
part of their product today.
* OSM data is being used in Swiss polices for crime analysis and prediction.

Possible future use cases:
* OSM could deliver an ID for objects which could serve for the
internet of things (IoT).
* "OSM Hotspots": Visualizing popular local (urban) areas and "OSM
Place Trends": Showing trending places by ranking "activities" (as of
yesterday). See https://twitter.com/sfkeller/status/619954847031410688

I'm looking forward for your talk.

[OSM-talk] Innovative uses of OSM data in cities?

[Jo Walsh]

dear all,

Next week I'm giving a talk about OSM and the work of the DWG to a group
of mostly academics who are interested in Smart Cities and being fairly
critical about Urban Big Data.

I wanted to show a few examples of innovative uses of the data, or
things that can only have come about because so much of the base map is
there. 

OSMBuildings.org and the related 3D work would be one example. Another
is some of Alasdair Rae's work visualising urban footprints:
http://www.undertheraedar.com/2015/07/urban-footprints-some-building-outline.html
And for something different, the OSM based clothing from
http://monochome.com/

But I am interested in other examples of novel uses of OSM data, any
suggestions from the list would be welcome.

Hi Jo,

Inasafe for an example? http://inasafe.org/en/ Disaster modelling
based on OSM data, particularly buildings.

I wrote up a blog post about data collection in Padang, Indonesia:
http://hotosm.org/updates/2012-09-24_from_remote_tracing_to_field_mapping_in_padang
I just realised that was almost 3 years ago. Tempus fugit and all
that, but hopefully still relevant.

Cheers, Joseph

OpenFireMap and Sochi for example, Sochi Fire Department has used 
OpenFireMap as their reference for a number of years, even before Sochi.
