Gml 3.2 support is coming in geotools soon, but not quite there yet. If you are eager for it though you can grab it from my github repository. http://github.com/jdeolive/geotools/tree/gml32 I hope to commit the changes back to geotools svn sometime this week. -Justin On Tue, Sep 14, 2010 at 1

Steve, Adding viewsheds to the package would certainly up the computing costs; I was wondering if you had a limit to what sort of processing power you've got there. ;-) I also think what you're proposing might be interesting, but you have to be careful about what conclusions you can draw fr

I think "cruvyness" might also be a useful resistance factor, and it is often associated with grade, as in steep mountain roads with lots of switchbacks. After attending FOSS4G last week my wife and I have been driving and biking in the Pyrenees and experiencing the effects of both cruvyness and gr

Yes, this is another good factor to look at. Curvature can be computed as the 2nd derivative or the rate of change in angle along the road. This is a little harder to compute with segments as you need to join adjacent segments to compute this or you get disconnects where they join. And you have

All, One thought just occurred to me related to this thread, what would street construction type add to the equation? Dirt/gravel/blacktop/concrete, add on to that age of road/ADT and roughness might start becoming a factor as well. I know these are getting a bit right or left of the origina

Hi OSGeo Discussions, (cc Steve, Justin), In terms of the computing of viewsheds, both Steve Carver (http://www.geog.leeds.ac.uk/people/s.carver/) and Justin Washtell (http://www.comp.leeds.ac.uk/washtell/) have done some work on this, but I don't know the latest... It can be useful to compute

On reflection, viewshed analysis might be used for route choice if for example one might want the view of something on a route (this could be something relatively precisely located e.g. the tip of the Eiffel Tower, or something imprecisely located e.g. the sea). Elevation and landcover and detai

All, The view of road, got me thinking about auto-placement of bridges and their locations, and even what road is above what other road. While not being able to tell exactly how long a bridge might be, it would be usefull for locating (and styling) a bridge location along a roadway, at least

Hi, IMHO layer Z-order is defined by clients who use the maps. Think about it: when using PosGIS, Oracle Spatial or any other geoinfor resource, the Z order is undefined by the resource server, it is up to resource clients to display them to any Z order the define. Cheers, Balint On Tue, Sep 14,
