On the completeness of sidewalk information in OpenStreetMap, a case study of Germany
نویسندگان
چکیده
The quality of OpenStreetMap (OSM) data has always been of main concern for use in different projects. In our study, in order to understand the fitness for use of OSM data for a routing and navigation system for people with limited mobility, we have assessed the completeness of OSM data with regards to sidewalk information. Relevant attributes for sidewalk information have been considered, and thorough an intrinsic quality analysis we present the number of sidewalk information (at object and attribute level) for five selected cities in Germany. The results are discussed and an outlook for future research study is presented.

متن کاملMeasuring Completeness of Building Footprints in OpenStreetMap over Space and Time
Due to financial or administrative constraints, access to official spatial base data is currently limited to a small subset of all potential users in the field of spatial planning and research. This increases the usefulness of Volunteered Geographic Information (VGI), in particular OpenStreetMap (OSM), as supplementary datasets or, in some cases, alternative sources of primary data. In contrast...
