Signed: Date: ii Abstract The knowledge of incline is useful for many use-cases in navigation for electricity-powered vehicles, cyclists or mobility-restricted people (e.g. wheelchair users). Digital elevation models (DEMs) such as from laser scanning obtained DEMs or SRTM are either too expensive, not globally available or not accurate enough. Therefore, voluntarily collected GPS traces collect by users of the OpenStreetMap project have been used to derive the incline of a street network. Due to a high relative accuracy of the GPS traces, the incline was computed in a, for many use-cases, reasonable accuracy. The comparison with the SRTM DEM has shown that the inclines calculated with GPS perform slightly better with a standard deviation of σGPS = 1.6 % (σSRTM = 3.1 %), considering street with at least 5 GPS traces. Contrary to SRTM with a full coverage, the incline could only be derived for 18 % of the street network (> 5 traces). Kurzfassung (Abstract in German Language) Steigungsinformationen haben einen Mehrwert für viele Routing Anwendungen, zum Beispiel für das Routing von elektronisch betriebenen Fahrzeugen, Radfahrenden oder Menschen mit Mobilitätsein- schränkungen (z.B. Rollstuhlfahrende). Digitale Geländemodelle (DGM), wie durch Laserscanning erstellte DGMs oder SRTM-1 DGM, sind entweder zu teuer, nicht flächendeckend vorhanden oder unzureichend in der Auflösung und der Genauigkeit. Daher sollen nutzergenerierte GPS Trajektorien genutzt werden um die Steigung von Straßen zu berechnen. Aufgrund der festgestellten hohen relativen Genauigkeit der Trajektorien war es möglich die Steigung in einer für viele Anwendungen ausreichenden Genauigkeit zu berechnen. Der Vergleich mit dem SRTM DGM hat ergeben, dass die Steigungen aus GPS Daten mit einer Standardabweichung von σGPS = 1,6 % besser sind (σSRTM = 3,1 %). Für die Ermittlung der Standardabweichung wurden ausschließlich Straßen mit mindestens 5 GPS Trajektorien verwendet. Im Gegensatz zu SRTM konnten die Steigungen nicht für alle, sondern nur für 18 % der Straßen bestimmt werden (mit mehr als 5 Trajektorien). iii Table of Content 1 Introduction

First, it focuses on those characteristics of VGI projects that present different goals and modes of organization, while using a crowdsourcing strategy to manage participants and contributions. Next, a tool is developed in order to design the central crowdsourced processing unit that is best suited for a specific project definition, associating it with a trend towards crowd-based or community-driven approaches. The design is structured around the characterization of different ways of participating, and the task cognitive demand of working on geo-information management, spatial problem solving and ideation, or knowledge acquisition. Then, the crowdsourcing process design helps to identify what kind of participants are needed and outline subsequent engagement strategies. This is based on an analysis of differences among volunteers’ participatory behaviors and the associated set of factors motivating them to contribute, whether on a crowd or community-sourced basis.

All views and opinions expressed therein remain the sole responsibility of the author, and do not necessarily represent those of the Faculty. ABSTRACT The emerging paradigm of Volunteered Geographic Information (VGI) in the geospatial domain is interesting research since the use of this type of information in a wide range of applications domain has grown extensively. It is important to identify the quality and fitness-of-use of VGI because of non- standardized and crowdsourced data collection process as well as the unknown skill and motivation of the contributors. Assessing the VGI quality against external data source is still debatable due to lack of availability of external data or even uncomparable. Hence, this study proposes the intrinsic measure of quality through the notion of credibility.

There is now an easier and costless way to become an OpenStreetMap Foundation member:. The volunteers of the OSMF Membership Working Group have just implemented the active contributor membership programwhere you can easily apply to become an Associate member of the Foundation and there is no need to pay the membership fee. How does it work? We will automatically grant associate memberships to mappers who request it and who have contributed at least 42 calendar days in the last year days. Not everyone contributes by mapping, and some of the most familiar names in our OpenStreetMap: Using list barely map. Some are very involved, for example, in organizing conferences. Those other forms of contribution should be recognised as well. If you do the Free World Map map at all or less than the 42 days, then we expect you to write a paragraph or two about what you do for OpenStreetMap. The Board will then vote on your application. Just like paid membership, membership under the membership fee waiver programme must be renewed annually. You will get a reminder, and you then can request the renewal, similar to the initial application.

  • 16 Volunteered Geographic Information
    16 Volunteered Geographic Information Serena Coetzee, South Africa 16.1 Introduction In its early days the World Wide Web contained static read-only information. It soon evolved into an interactive platform, known as Web.2.0, where content is added and updated all the time. Blogging, wikis, video sharing and social media are examples of Web.2.0. This type of content is referred to as user-generated content. Volunteered geographic information (VGI) is a special kind of user-generated content. It refers to geographic information collected and shared voluntarily by the general public. Web.2.0 and associated advances in web mapping technologies have greatly enhanced the abilities to collect, share and interact with geographic information online, leading to VGI. Crowdsourcing is the method of accomplishing a task, such as problem solving or the collection of information, by an open call for contributions. Instead of appointing a person or company to collect information, contributions from individuals are integrated in order to accomplish the task. Contributions are typically made online through an interactive website. Figure 16.1 The OpenStreetMap map page.

  • Backsplash Patterns for Your World: a Look at SAS® Openstreetmap (OSM) Tile Servers Barbara B
    MWSUG 2018 - Paper SB-034 Backsplash Patterns for Your World: A Look at SAS® OpenStreetMap (OSM) Tile Servers Barbara B. Okerson, Manteo, NC ABSTRACT Originally limited to SAS Visual Analytics, SAS now provides the ability to create background maps with street and other detail information in SAS/GRAPH® using open source map data from OpenStreetMap (OSM). OSM provides this information using background tile sets available from various tile servers, many available at no cost. This paper provides a step-by-step guide for using the SAS OSM Annotate Generator (the SAS tool that allows use of OSM data in SAS). Examples include the default OpenStreetMap tile server for streets and landmarks, as well as how to use other free tile sets that provide backgrounds ranging from terrain mapping to bicycle path mapping. Dare County, North Carolina is used as the base geographic area for this presentation. INTRODUCTION OpenStreetMap is a source of mapping data built by a community of mappers that contribute and maintain data about roads, trails, cafés, railway stations, and much more, all over the world. OSM is open data and can freely be used for any purpose as long as OpenStreetMap and its contributors are credited. In other words, OSM is a collaborative project to create a free and editable map of the world. It is supported by the OpenStreetMap Foundation, a non-profit registered in England and Wales. The OSM project was started because geographic data is not free in many parts of the world. For example, Google maps data is copyrighted by many organizations and licensed by Google, therefore not free to use without permission.
