[Geo4All] OSM Mapathons and disaster OpenRouteService for Ecuador @GIScience Heidelberg

[Suchith Anand]

Dear Alexander,

Thank you for sharing these useful information and to all  your colleagues who organised OSM mapathon for Ecuador .

We will be creating a new link on Humanitarian Mapping in the Geo4All website and need to capture all these important urls and ideas . I will email you and Marco separately for this.

Best wishes,

Suchith

Dear all,

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..

In order to provide emergency and rescue forces in Ecuador with the latest information concerning infrastructural conditions of roads and buildings the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (H.O.T.)<http://hot.openstreetmap.org/> as part of the OpenStreetMap Community coordinates the crisis mapping activities for the Ecuador earthquake.

As a first support of these activities the GIScience Heidelberg team<http://www.geog.uni-heidelberg.de/lehrstuehle/gis/mitarbeiter_en.html> set up a OpenStreetMap disaster routing (based on OpenRouteService) and crisis map collecting an visualizing latest OSM information.

The OpenRouteService Disaster Map: <http://openls.geog.uni-heidelberg.de/disaster/> http://openls.geog.uni-heidelberg.de/disaster/ and the routing graph will be updated daily.

Most important, as in earlier cases for the disasters in Nepal or Haiti the additional OpenRouteService SOS - route profile currently considers passable and impassable tagged ways (impassable=yes or status=impassable) and dynamically adjusts the graph weights of OSM streets accordingly.

ORS also provides an Accessibility Analysis Service for a given location, the possibility to export GPS tracks to be used offline in mobile device and the interactive Avoid Feature Area Tool (in case areas are severely effected by debris and not accessible at all). These features are thus potentially valuable for Search and Rescue (SAR) units.
