Re: [Tagging] Underground power lines in tunnel

2013-06-07 Thread John F. Eldredge
If you look at my entire message, I did point out that vertical clearance was 
an attribute of the ways, not the bridge.  How should the vertical clearance 
from the bridge to the water be tagged, and how do you tag what height of water 
was the reference point?  If the water level is high, there will be less room 
for watercraft to pass under the bridge.

in osm this is an attribute on the way(s) under the bridge, not of the
bridge itself

 This one, right?
 http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Relations/Proposed/Bridges_and_Tunnels

 +1 from me, although we don't need voting to use the tags ;-)


Sure this one.

I don't recognize the common proposal template.
Is there other one for relations proposal ?

If not, I'll edit it to match traditional workflow.


 an issue I see is the height property, AFAIK this is often indicated as
 distance from the ground/surface below to the carriageway (that's what the
 proposal says at the moment), but could also be used (osm) for the greatest
 vertical extension including towers / pylons etc. (would be more consistent
 with how the height tag is usually used in osm)

 Other interesting tags to add are architect (sometimes), start_date, ele
 and wikipedia. I'd also like to see some proposal regarding the structure.


Let's discuss it on Talk page ? :)

 Fly,
 
 Tunnel and bridges may be complex structures which sometimes aren't
 built in a single piece.
 Relation is needed here to link all pieces to each other in one hand and
 on the other to link the whole structure to its direct environment.
 
 I'm not convinced into in mapping all bridges or tunnels spatially is
 the best way, according to what I explained before.

Do not get me wrong. I use man_made=bridge for the outline and add it to
the relation.

Re: [Tagging] Underground power lines in tunnel

2013-06-06 Thread John F. Eldredge
There are three height types for a bridge over a navigable waterway: the 
maximum distance from ground level to the highest part of the bridge structure, 
the maximum height of vehicle plus cargo that can go across the bridge, and the 
maximum clearance for vehicles passing under the bridge.  The proposal mentions 
the first two, but not the third.  It does not, as far as I can tell, provide 
for a way to specify where the reference point is located for the 
height-above-ground figure, which is an issue since the ground level at one end 
of a bridge is often different from the ground level at the other end.  The 
proposal states, correctly, that the maximum height of a vehicle is a property 
of each of the ways passing across.  Roads passing under the bridge need to be 
tagged with max height.  The tricky part is tagging the max height of ships 
that may wish to pass under the bridge, as this will vary with the water level. 
 The current proposal doesn't seem to handle either aspect of the
ship-clearance questions.

2013-06-05 Thread François Lacombe
Hi,

I agree with you Martin.
And that's why I'm looking for a way to say those power
lines/lanes/roads are on the same bridge/tunnel.

As you mentionned, the tunnel/bridge name can precise which bridge is
but it's not a relational (or even spatial) way of bringing objets
together.

Ok a tunnel isn't easy to map since we can't use GPS. But nothing
prevent us to create a relation to setup such a link between roads and
bridge for example.
That's why I'm interested by the proposal given above. Nobody wants it
accepted ?

Cheers.

yes, but you can easily see whether it is one tube with both directions going 
through, or if there is one tube per direction (more usual case due to security 
reasons). Then you still have to define what is one tunnel, maybe also 2 (or 
more) distinct tubes could qualify as one tunnel?

Yes, you could either use a relation for the bridge (with name, ref, wikipedia 
and other tags, describing the bridge) and add the highways to the relation 
with a role running over the bridge, or draw distinct geometry for the bridge 
perimeter (and eventually geometry for the supports, pylons, etc.). The latter 
could also be done additionally and added to the relation). The same applies 
for tunnels besides that we often don't know exactly the shape of the tunnel.

Tunnels can have even more complex topologies than only 1 or 2 tubes
going through, it depends on the purpose.
Regarding power lines, technical facilities can follow surface streets but
it's not mandatory. They can have different heights, different levels with
links between them, manhole access, etc... We still call them tunnels
here but there's really nothing common with road tunnels.

It's out of question to map such restricted access facilties with details,
but it's important to show if several features share the same
infrastructure or not even if it's difficult to represent whata tunnel is
in that particular situation.

The problem is such features (like power lines or ways of a highway) are
always redundant with components of tunnels or bridges themselves.
We don't need to create dedicated geometry for an highway tunnel since the
geometry of the road gives the path followed by this tunnel. So we can
precise it in the role attribute of the tunnel/bridge relation member
which tube the road way represent. Since OSM doesn't manage relation member
attributes at all, it will be difficult.
= A relation for each tube or gallery ?

Re: [Tagging] Underground power lines in tunnel

2013-06-05 Thread John F. Eldredge
One reason it would be useful to be able to tag bridges (and, to a lesser 
extent, tunnels) as single physical objects is that they may be used as 
landmarks.  For example, you may be traveling along a street that runs parallel 
to a river, looking for a location just past a certain bridge.  If the renderer 
showed three bridges, for example, due to the tagging, but there is really just 
one bridge, you may end up going past your intended destination before 
realizing that the map didn't match reality.

Thanks fly for this answer.

Type=tunnel can suits my needs : let's add all power lines in the
relation with role=through.
Add tubes or not depends on the tunnel design, not on what's inside. I
don't mind.
The trick is to link many power lines to a single tunnel.

However, it would be hard to build something in transmission
refinement with it since type=tunnel proposal isn't voted yet.

Hi
That's already a problem for ways, too:
A motorway with two separate highways in OSM may be one bridge
alltogether - but is mapped as two.
A street where the footways along are separated by a small wall or a
hedge is drawn as distinct osm ways (at least it should be) but if these
ways share the same bridge construction, there the problem is exactly
the same.

There's this proposal already, although I'm not sure if it's the best
