Project description

Goal

To improve the map quality in Philippines, we propose to make data improvements by sharing challenges that can help fix data errors, and add or edit certain kinds of geometry.

When appropriate, our team will also work on these challenges. If a challenge is more suitable to be solved without organised help, we will leave it for local users interested in completing the tasks. Challenges like this will be indicated as such in the overview below.

How to participate

Anyone is welcome to contribute to this project by participating in our MapRoulette challenges. Here is the extended documentation for using MR. Note that sometimes additional instructions are provided within the challenges.

Challenges

Quality check challenges (not active) - [Invalid Lane Tag](https://maproulette.org/browse/challenges/23766) The tag lanes=* on ways with tag highway=* indicates the amount of lanes on the road at hand. The value for the lanes tag should be only one of the following numbers: 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. Any other value is incorrect and should be fixed. - [Not connected highway](https://maproulette.org/browse/challenges/23758) Ways with tag highway=* must be connected to the rest of the road network to ensure its continuity, e.g. for route planning. When such a way is not connected to another way with tag highway=*, an error is logged. - [Tag area=yes on object without feature type](https://maproulette.org/browse/challenges/23759) The area=yes tag is required for some closed ways when used to define a polygon. For closed ways with other tags, there is an assumption that the way defines an area. In some circumstances, a closed way may define both a closed polyline and an area. When tag area=yes is used, it is expected that one of the necessary accompanying tags is also found. - [Impossible angle in a highway](https://maproulette.org/browse/challenges/23762) In general, roads intended for vehicles should be built to maintain proper angles which ensure maneuvers and fluent traffic. Extreme, too sharp angles applied to a way may indicate errors in the road geometry. - [Invalid Turn Restriction](https://maproulette.org/browse/challenges/23764) This check identifies invalid turn restrictions. Invalid turn restrictions occur in a variety of ways, from invalid members to edge geometry issues to not being routable to wrong topology. Relations, ways and nodes in relations as well as turn restrictions are checked. A relation needs to have exactly one way with role 'from' and exactly one way with role 'to'. These ways should be linked together by at least one way with role 'via' OR with exactly one node with role 'via' (no more and no less). - [Invalid Mini-Roundabout](https://maproulette.org/browse/challenges/23767) Mini-roundabouts are a special kind of roundabout with the same rules as other roundabouts, but present as painted circles rather than physical circles. There might also be a low, fully traversable dome or island that vehicles can drive across. Road traffic flows in one direction around a point in the middle, and the traffic in the roundabout has right-of-way. A mini-roundabout is recorded using the tag highway=mini_roundabout. - [Polygon has self-intersection](https://maproulette.org/browse/challenges/23757) The necessary edits will be made to fix cases where the tag on a way indicates that the object is a polygon feature, but the way does not meet the definition of a closed way because it is self-intersecting, or ways in a relation with the same role form a self-intersecting polygon - [This multipolygon is a simple polygon](https://maproulette.org/browse/challenges/23761) Simple areas are mapped in OSM by creating a closed way and tagging it as an area object rather than a line. Relations of the type multipolygon are used to represent complex areas with holes inside or consisting of multiple disjoint areas. A multipolygon relation can have any number of ways in the role outer (the outline) and any number of ways in the role inner (the holes), and these must form valid rings to build a multipolygon. When a relation of the type multipolygon consists of only one member, which is a simple area, an error is logged. - [Spiky buildings](https://maproulette.org/browse/challenges/23763) Buildings with extremely sharp angles will be identified and corrected if needed. - [Polygon is not closed](https://maproulette.org/browse/challenges/23756) Features intended to be a polygon should be correctly tagged. When the tag indicates that the object should be a polygon, but the geometry is built out of a NON-closed way, an error is logged.
Active Challenges - [Philippines - Fix Building & Highway intersections](https://maproulette.org/browse/challenges/39125) Identify and fix, if needed, cases where a way with tag highway=* intersects with a building. The fix may be either to correct the building footprint or to correct the route of the highway. Use appropriate available sources to decide on the best action to resolve the conflict. - [Philippines - Fix Intersecting Buildings](https://maproulette.org/browse/challenges/44046) Identify and fix, if needed, situations where a building intersects with another building at the same layer. - [Philippines - Add Highways](https://maproulette.org/browse/challenges/39365) Data analysis done by TomTom suggests that there should be a road or track here in OSM, but it is missing. - [Philippines - Fix Building and Water Intersections](https://maproulette.org/browse/challenges/40073) We generate the leads after a spatial comparison of water features and buildings available in OSM. The objective is to identify and fix, if needed, situations where a water feature intersects with a building. - [Philippines - Fix Incorrect Highway Junctions](https://maproulette.org/browse/challenges/42370) We generate the leads based on spatial analysis of OSM data. We excluded pedestrian paths and cycleways and applied a distance buffer to generate a set of incorrect situations for junctions, that you will find in this challenge. - [Philippines - Fix Spiky Buildings](https://maproulette.org/browse/challenges/44763) Examine the set of potentially erroneous buildings that we’ve identified. Visit the locations on the map and assess whether the building shapes seem inaccurate and fix them wherever needed.

Edits based on map feedback

Click to expand. We make improvements to OSM based on user feedback submitted for the TomTom map after comparing and ensuring that it is also valid for OSM. Here is a list of the types of edits to be made, provided they do not conflict with others’ edits and a local source is available: - Highways - Adding or correcting highways - Adding or correcting link roads - Adding or adjusting bridges, tunnels, layers, or relations - Adding or updating lanes and related properties - Adding or updating traffic signs - Adding or updating access barriers - Adding or updating turn restrictions - Addresses - Adding or correcting addresses - Updating the position of address nodes, usually when an object has multiple addresses - Adding or correcting names of ways - POIs (Points of Interest) - Adding POIs - Correcting POI locations - Adding or correcting POI information - Resolving POI-land use discrepancies - Handling POI closures - Land use - Adding land use - Modifying existing land use extent - Buildings - Adding buildings - Updating building type - Adjusting building shape - Water - Adding or realigning rivers, streams, and lakes. - Railways - Adding railway tracks - Realigning railway tracks - Adding or adjusting railway infrastructure tags such as bridges, tunnels, level crossings - Ferry lines - Adding ferry lines - Realigning ferry lines - Adding ferry terminals These are incidental edits spread over time starting Sept, 4th 2023. We follow local guidelines and, if needed, consult with the community before making an update.

Geographical scope

Data improvements will be made across the whole country.

Announcements

TomTom organized editing

We will follow the Organised Editing Guidelines for this project. TomTom will not make any edits until two weeks after the project announcement. Here is our Organised Editing page, including a list of our editors.

How to find TomTom's edits

All edits made by our team have the hashtag #tt or #tomtom.

Sources for editing

For some OSM map edits TomTom editors will use proprietary sources for support. These will typically be in situations where there is not sufficient evidence using the available sources in OSM editors themselves. The proprietary sources will be ground-level imagery and GPS traces, both collected by TomTom's mobile mapping vans. On occasion, we will also use sources collected from a field survey by one of TomTom's sourcing specialists who have visited the location and collected data to support the required map updates.

How to reach out
