Re: [OSM-talk-be] Complex kruispunt / Complex crossing

2014-05-13 Thread Marc Gemis
Heb het kruispunt aangepast met lanes, turn:lanes en afslagbeperkingen. Die
laatsten zijn misschien niet echt nodig.
Wegens tijdsgebrek heb ik de afzonderlijke fietspaden niet verwijderd, heb
wel de ontbrekende stukjes bijgetekend.
Op dit moment gaat mijn interesse uit naar de lanes, turn:lanes, fietspaden
aanpassen is voor een andere keer of voor een andere mapper.

I adapted the intersection with lanes, turn:lanes and turn restriction. The
latter might not be really needed.
I did not remove all those separate cycleways (due to lack of time), I did
add the missing pieces though.
At this moment, I'm interested in getting the lanes & turn:lanes done, so I
leave the bicycle ways for another time / mapper.

2014-05-13 Thread Wouter Hamelinck
Marc,

The difference between following N47 with separate cycleways and
without separate cycleways is that in the first case the router will
tell you that you are cycling over a road without cycleways, while in
the second case the router will tell you that you are following a road
with lanes. For a cyclist, this is exactly what matters.
Or otherwise said, if for all practical purposes you ignore the
parallel cycleways, why would you map them in the first place? Because
they show on the standard map (aka mapping for the renderer)?

The badly connected cycleways have nothing to do with device
precision, but everything with network topology. It is the same reason
why a junction between two roads should happen in one node and why two
nodes very very very close to each other is not good enough.

Regarding our current installation, we had to reject this possibility
because this should not meet our requirements... More details in private
if you need this.

You can configure a host as a NAT router.  Assuming it's on host a.b.c.b
(Internet address) and 192.168.0.0 is a local LAN,
it would translate a.b.c.b:8080 -> 192.168.0.X:80 to access http port 80
of host X through port 8080 of the former.

Re: [OSM-talk-be] Complex kruispunt / Complex crossing

2014-05-13 Thread Marc Gemis
Jo,

a can of worms ? I hope it , this mailing list is too quiet :-)

Wouter,

While I understand that for routing one does not need the separate
cycleways, I don't see much difference in a router that sends me over the
N47 with separate cycleways (illegal in your eyes) or without separate
cycleways (ok for you).

The possible problem with a badly connected separate cycleway, is that a
GPS with very high precision, won't let me make the second left turn into
Baan nr. 90

So as long as the N47 is not tagged with bicycle = no, there won't be any
problem IMHO
But as you wrote, you get the same result with less work by putting tags on
the main road.

regards

Re: [OSM-talk-be] Complex kruispunt / Complex crossing

2014-05-13 Thread Wouter Hamelinck
OK, I'll bite about the cycleway.

Go a bit south and you will see something called Macharisdreef and
something called Baan nr. 90. Imagine you want to cycle from
Macharisdreef to Baan nr. 90 along that N47 and use only the map data
as a routing algorithm would do.
* First attempt: well it is obvious, you just take the cycleway at the
east of the N47 to cycle from the one to the other. Shortest, lots of
cycleway, it looks perfect. Reality: this is illegal, you only can
follow that cycleway north, otherwise you cycle on the wrong side of
the road. So we have to correct the data. Let's say we put a
oneway=yes on the eastern cycleway.
* Second attempt: well obvious again, you simply take the N47 instead
of that cycleway. Only slightly longer, a bit less attractive, but not
too bad. Reality: this is illegal. There are cycleways, you have to
follow those. So we have to correct the data. Somehow we have to make
explicit that you are not supposed to cycle on the N47 but have to
follow the parallel cycleways. So let's put some tag explaining that
on the N47. I don't really care which one. It could be boldly
bicycle=no or the proposed bicycle=use_sidepath or whatever. I'm just
not supposed to cycle over the highway=primary.
* Third attempt: let's see. When leaving Macharisdreef, I have only
two options. Either I take the N47, but that is illegal, or I take the
cycleway east of N47. Nothing else connects to Marcharisdreef. So my
only option is to follow the eastern cycleway to the north. Hmm, I
then can cross the N47 right before that terribly complicated junction
and start following the western cycleway. Until I find a place to
cross the N47 again. The first one that I find is right at the
roundabout about 500m to the south. There, I can traverse to the
eastern cycleway and follow that north to Baan nr. 90. OK, I have a
solution. Not exactly short (about 1km instead of the 50m in my
previous attempts), but at least it is legal. Reality: not entirely
legal (at least at the roundabout you should go around it instead of
traversing before the roundabout), but close enough for me. With the
slightest bit of common sense I wouldn't follow that anyhow. What I
would do is traverse N47, follow the western cycleway and traverse
again when I am at Baan nr. 90. Why didn't the algorithm propose that?
Simple: the road to the east of N47 are not connected to the western
cycleway and vice verse. So we have to modify the data again. At every
point where there is a sideroad from only one side we need to add a
short cycleway to connect the cycleway on the other side with the
junction.

Once those junctions are made, I will get the obvious, correct route.

Conclusion: lots of work and near impossible to maintain.

Now, let's see what happens if I tag the cycle paths on the
highway=primary in stead of drawing them separately. It is in any case
a lot less work. No need to draw the separate cycleways and no need to
add all the technical tags on both highway=primary and
highway=cycleway that I described previously to get correct results. I
just add cycleway=lane or something similar to the highway=primary.
What does the algorithm say? I will just say: "At the end of
Macharisdreef turn left on N47. I know there are are cycle lanes so
you should follow those instead of cycling in the middle of the road.
And after 50m you turn left in Baan nr. 90.".
Simple, clear, robust.

That is why I only will draw separate cycleways if there really is no
other option. Even if it is not wrong to draw to the cycleway
separately, it is just a lot of work, impossible to maintain and a
huge source of errors waiting to happen.

Bonus question 1: what happens with routing for pedestrians in both situations?
Bonus question 2: in how many ways is it possible to make mistakes
when mapping cycling routes? Especially the case of a route that can
be followed in both directions is enlightening.
Bonus question 3: which situation has the least tags (=lowest database
size) and the least junctions and ways (=greater efficiency for
routing algorithms like Dijkstra)?

We have more recent AGIV imagery now. All I see wrong is that the cycleway
is connected to the underground waterway. But the main road is too.
Probably to silence validator warnings in a totally inappropriate way...

I still think it's correct to draw the cycleways separate cases like this.

Marc, you opened a can of worms there :-) But it's good that the subject of
using separate ways to represent lanes is brought up on the list.
