RideAway Data

This tool can be used to compare open data sources with open street map data. The aim is to identify missing information in the osm data. The main focus is on missing geometries and missing tags. This tool was first developed to complete the bicycle routes in Brussels.

The tool can be viewed here: https://cyclenetworks.osm.be/

We used Django to serve the webpages and the comparison is written in C#. The install scripts only works on ubuntu. The front-end makes use of openlayers.

Workings

Scraping of osm data

Comparison

We scrape the data from open street map using overpass-turbo. The scrapping is done in scrapping.py

Missing geometries

Missing geometries are extracted in program.cs. It uses methods from the NTS topology suite.

Overpass query to export a relation by it's ID

(e.g. http://overpass-turbo.eu/s/qeh)
