Dear HOT team,
I want to hereby inform you that GIScience group of Heidelberg
University <http://www.geog.uni-heidelberg.de/gis/index_en.html> set up
an OpenRouteService Disaster Map for Ecuador:
http://openls.geog.uni-heidelberg.de/disaster/.
The map and graph will be updated regularly.
As in earlier cases for the disasters in Nepal or Haiti the additional
/OpenRouteService/ SOS - route profile currently considers passable and
impassable tagged ways 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.
For more information also see:
http://k1z.blog.uni-heidelberg.de/2016/04/20/disaster-openrouteservice-for-ecuador/
Hopefully this resource will be useful and we are open to feedbacks
towards improvement.
Kind regards,
Melanie
on behalh of the GIScience group
