[datameet] Bicycle Tracks in Different Indian Cities

[Jasvinder Singh]

Dear All,

I am trying to compile the data of all the properly made segregated bicycle
tracks in Delhi.
This data will be made on GIS platform with easy convertibility for Google
Earth
and Google maps platform.
I request you to take the location of these tracks and if possible, the
Photos and Video of the
track.
You can send this information to me in the following E-mail.
jasvinsinghre...@gmail.com

Compiling all the data at one place will help cyclists to choose the routes
and will also be helpful to authorities (maybe, because they are sleeping
to the needs of Cyclists :((  )  to plan and expand the network.

Proper credits will be given to the Group name and person, when the data is
uploaded.

Thanks and Regards,

Jasvinder Singh

Hi,
I am trying to compile all the Bicycle tracks and Cycle Lanes in Delhi NCR.
Does anyone have KMZ files of the cycle tracks along with Geo-Tagged Photos?

[datameet] Query regarding Linking CSV tables for Pipeline Route alignment in QGIS

[Jasvinder Singh]

For a Pipeline Alignment I have TP (Turning point Data - Coords & Chainages 
linked to TP numbers) in one Table.
In another Table I have certain road crossings with data columns indicating 
crossing laying between TP numbers and also intermediate chainage between 
those two TP's. 
How can I get coords for the road Crossings.

Newbie here in the field of GIS.

Re: [datameet] Data of Indian Railways

[Jasvinder Singh]

Dear Nikhil,

Saw the interface. Its quite simple and easy to use even by newbies.
However is an android version of the same available?
It would be easy to update the databank whenever one is traveling and comes
across an unfamiliar station.

Regards,

Jasvinder Singh

Dear Arun,
Exactly the type of simple data sheet that newbies can understand. However
how location (Coordinates) is linked in this file?

Re: [datameet] Data of Indian Railways

[Jasvinder Singh]

Dear All,

Not all the members are familiar with intricacies of the data collection
for such projects. Since this seems to be a crowd sourcing endeavour, I
suggest that the basic data collection protocol be enumerated for newbies
so that they can also contribute data which can then be put in proper
format by professionals.

Jasvinder Singh

Re: [datameet] Looking for public toilet location data for our app

[Jasvinder Singh]

Dear Gagan,

The only solution I see for a large country like India is crowd sourcing
the data. The app should let users pin the location of any toilet they use
and send it in. The database should only check for duplicate entries.
Hope this catches on.
Regards.
J.Singh

Re: [datameet] Crowd sourcing the Data

[Jasvinder Singh]

Dear Arun,

Taking up your second interrogative first, actually the idea came from one
of the threads in the group itself.
One query was regarding Bus stops in a particular city. Now imagine the
power of crowd sourcing for such a project. Just one person in a city when
commuting by any means, within a course of few days can mark KMZ points of
bus stops and upload them. That's just one person.

Now coming to the first part of your mail. The very idea for propagating
"the idea of crowd sourcing" is to increase that small fraction of persons
"who contribute data voluntary" to substantial numbers where it starts to
make a difference. And if  am not wrong, this is the very idea of making
groups like "datameet".

Just a thought.

Regards.

[datameet] Crowd sourcing the Data

[Jasvinder Singh]

Hello Guys,

Lots of threads asking for a particular type of Data.
Why can't we start a crowd sourcing project wherein all members will pool in 
data with particular attributes and pool it in a database. 
The type of categories into which data will be filtered can be decided by 
senior members of the group.

With the type of mobility people have now a days, the repository will expand 
very fast.

Say what?

J.Singh
