Egypt | Data Improvements #165

Open Dewald99 opened 1 year ago

Dewald99 commented 1 year ago

Project description

Goal

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

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. We also strongly encourage you to make use of the resources listed in the OSM wiki section Egypt Wiki page while you are editing.

Challenges

Edits based on User Feedback

We will 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 highways - Realigning highways - Adding or adjusting bridges, tunnels, layers, or relations - Updating lanes - Updating traffic signs - 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 - Adjusting building shape - Buildings - Adding buildings - Updating building type - Adjusting building shape - Water - Adding or realigning rivers, streams, and lakes.

Geometry challenges

Click to expand. - [Missing Highways](https://maproulette.org/browse/challenges/37928) Data analysis done by TomTom suggests that there should be a road or track here in OSM, but it is missing. - [Isolated Roads](https://maproulette.org/browse/challenges/38466) Leads are generated based on analysis of road classes and their connection to the rest of the road network. the goal is to connect the hanging roads to the nearest road network based on the available imagery and/or probe sources.

Missing Buildings

Click to expand. - [Add Buildings](https://maproulette.org/browse/challenges/40205) Missing buildings were detected after a spatial comparison with TomTom's map database. The tasks in this challenge focus on physical structures such as residential, commercial, and industrial buildings.

Quality check challenges

Click to expand. - [Fix Building & Highway intersections](https://maproulette.org/browse/challenges/40197) Identify and fix, if needed, cases where a way with tag highway=* intersects with a building. - [Fix Building and Water Intersections](https://maproulette.org/browse/challenges/40200) Identify and fix, if needed, situations where a water feature intersects with a building. - [Fix Incorrect Highway Junctions](https://maproulette.org/browse/challenges/41660) Identify and fix if needed, cases where highway junctions are incorrectly or imprecisely mapped. - [Add Water Features](https://maproulette.org/browse/challenges/42181) Identify and add, if needed, the missing water feature. - [Fix Incorrect Junctions on Roundabouts](https://maproulette.org/browse/challenges/42169) Identify and fix cases where two or more highways are connected to the same node on a roundabout.  - [Fix Intersecting Buildings](https://maproulette.org/browse/challenges/43333) Identify and fix, if needed, situations where a building intersects with another building at the same layer.

Geographical scope

Data improvements will be made across the whole country.

Announcements

TomTom organised 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

If you have remarks about a specific edit of ours, please drop a comment in the changeset, and we will do our best to respond thoughtfully. Or, you can also:
