-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hey everyone,
Just got this link to an interesting map put together by WHO using OSM data and wanted to share it with the list so that you can all see how your work is being used in the ebola response. The map at the link below (note, the link may not be permanent) shows the location of several ebola testing laboratories in the affected area, but the interesting part is the colored isochron contours which show the regions where you can drive to the laboratories in a given length of time. There is a isochron for 1 hour, 3 hours, and 5 hours travel time to the laboratories. http://maps.who.int/SimpleViewer_WHO/?webmap=adcafab67341461c84961d534316f1ba Not only does this map use OSM as a background layer, but the isochrons themselves are actually based off of OSM road network data. This shows the kind of versatility that OSM data can provide above and beyond just rendering maps to look at and print out. When combined with population data analyses like these can be invaluable in deciding where to place new laboratory facilities and can be used by drivers to easily decide which facility would be the best place to take a sample to. We are glad to see analysis like this being done so I want to say thank you to the WHO for producing it, and of course a big thank you to all the OSM contributors who helped make it possible. - -AndrewBuck -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1 iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJUZhtiAAoJEK7RwIfxHSXbfp0P/iXYFwL49WhSli4bXBg5baPt 7H5MpHCDLwv36eQV7qc/ffiDe2ed7ZiDY8QZqjtJ6yIsKPFay7uSu+reUj/0cuGD MdyPn8b+TmLgUWxu34huQJfno1v4XGgR2svw2fTEuMqugtSo2OBgsFZN2195gTAn oVAWcXRXSJ3uQhRYZvBF3tLzHd4K7//POZSNimU/bIldtMMkAVB+kNh9XvTd6gS9 64QWmc7sx6/EbPob6mZsHgq+w3hcOl4BaDe8CJwRWKa7B23Zjf0CGYI0MpYUaPKu VAvMqTNydi/aYyj5yrykqmpQBSGJV4rppiEGJgEDShYcoJf2RisoNPe3ohF2uauu MvJDvXvQNTipSzgDX5CASbZGs5E1obFI9t3fzFnUP59fARGcVHKiHxdXCszDaLOs 6IbN7j410hXXwztNqZyjUVqxDPxiGN5Uls4pvZJuwWVTn9tE2iN5lJe43T1ZtvBx YiKiS2bvx9MObzJ1ge/g2bQ7uL3/tfzped1x1pjRHZPoVZ6lC21XTJpgv9rCzZRd DIS2okFldMrGbWNN2sOUM1lhyM84h1F1lsxBZQnafZU+KC+HQI8vL2Ad2z2Vt472 jlxhw52ePVkCjrxW0Q9BalNW/cukXRclTcn5w9AE/7gBk9azmytS49NLPSNTo7zi RfEoXuTKsekPAIuSblRK =JHqg -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ HOT mailing list HOT@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/hot
