Dear all,<br>
<br>
maybe a follow up a short notice that we also had a OSM Mapathon for
Ecuador yesterday at Heidelberg University and that we also set up a
OSM-based disaster routing service already on Wednesday, that can
consider destroyed/blocked streets/bridges etc..<br>

<p>In order to provide emergency and rescue forces in Ecuador with
the latest information concerning infrastructural conditions of
roads and buildings <a href="http://hot.openstreetmap.org/">the
Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (H.O.T.)</a> as part of the
OpenStreetMap Community coordinates the crisis mapping activities
for the Ecuador earthquake.</p>
<p style="text-align: left">As a first support of these activities <a
href="http://www.geog.uni-heidelberg.de/lehrstuehle/gis/mitarbeiter_en.html">the
GIScience Heidelberg team</a> set up a <strong>OpenStreetMap
disaster routing</strong> (based on <em>OpenRouteService</em>)
and crisis map collecting an visualizing latest OSM information.</p>
<p style="text-align: left">The OpenRouteService Disaster Map: <a
href="http://openls.geog.uni-heidelberg.de/disaster/"
target="_blank"><a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://openls.geog.uni-heidelberg.de/disaster/">http://openls.geog.uni-heidelberg.de/disaster/</a></a>
and the <strong>routing graph</strong> will be updated daily.</p>
<p style="text-align: left">Most important, as in earlier cases for
the disasters in Nepal or Haiti the additional <em>OpenRouteService</em>
<strong>SOS - route profile</strong> currently considers <strong>passable
and impassable tagged ways </strong>(<span class="st"><em>impassable</em>=<em>yes
or status=</em></span><span class="st"><em>impassable</em></span>)
and dynamically adjusts the graph weights of OSM streets
accordingly.</p>
<p style="text-align: left">ORS also provides an <strong>Accessibility
Analysis Service</strong> for a given location, the possibility
to <strong>export </strong> <strong>GPS tracks</strong> to be
used offline in mobile device and the interactive <strong>Avoid
Feature Area Tool </strong>(in case areas are severely effected
by debris and not accessible at all)<strong>.</strong> These
features are thus potentially valuable for Search and Rescue (SAR)
units.</p>
