Device locati on signals can provide evidence about the existence of roads in these sc enarios. Grab\, the leading superapp for deliveries\, mobility and financ ial services in Southeast Asia\, collects and processes GPS signals from their network of drivers. These signals are anonymized and averaged to pr oduce vector data after some machine learning inference and centerline ex traction. Based on our collaboration with Grab\, we present a framework o n conflating this data against OSM roads. As a result we identified 240\, 000 kms of new roads in 62 cities where image-based ML models have diffic ulty due to occlusion. The outputs are being made public through the Dayl ight Release.

Focused on "importance" and network connectivity\, the project began with a reevaluation of US-usage of the `highway=trunk` tag and has broadened to address the full network hierarchy and several other classification tags. \n\nWhile striving for national consistency is the ultimate goal\, transportation departments in the various states are too diverse in their practices for a one-size-fit s all approach.

With the rapid urbanization going on in the city\, i t shows that this problem will get worse in the years ahead. The scale of the problem is huge (over 1 billion people do not have land rights)\, no t only in Tanzania but also in the world at large.\n\nThe cost of surveyi ng plots and providing title deeds is prohibitive using conventional meth ods\, but using community mapping\, OSM\, cheap dual-frequency sensors\, drones\, or a simple phone\, it is possible. Our solution is simple: comm unity cadastres. Working with small communities (100-200 people) and usin g low-cost\, high-accuracy\, dual-frequency RTKs\, we can create incredib ly precise maps that lead to title deeds.\n\nI will share my views on how using these technologies that are not used at large\, together with OSM and open-source tools such as QGIS can be used to make the community cada stres part of the map that leads to land rights.

In addition\, by integrating GIS th ese immersive views are a tool for quantifying and qualifying nearshore c onditions\, as well as viewing data in context.

Since the 1950s it has been recognized for its transient communit y - one of a planned suburb for returning GIs\, and now as one of the lar gest Latinx immigrant communities in the D.C. metropolitan area. Today\, it faces lingering threats of gentrification and displacement due to unde rinvestment\, aging infrastructure\, transit development\, and the COVID- 19 pandemic. Among these transient changes\, the lived experiences of the multicultural residents and small businesses have been underreported. In this session\, I will demonstrate how I have used OSM to map 'under-mapp ed' spaces of businesses by capturing symbols\, cultural expressions\, an d social and spatial elements.

To support trail tagging clean-up effort s a team of Locana trail enthusiasts set out to research the full extent of official trails vs. social trails in certain areas throughout the US. Using official US government trail layers and OSM trails data we examined geometry\, topology\, and tagging schemas to identify differences helpin g improve data while keeping hikers safe on maintained paths.

Map errors in OSM are most often attributed to improper tag combinations or diverse map ping practices from people around the world. To spot map errors\, a group of people is dedicated to developing error detection tools for the OSM community \n\nWith countless error detection tools available today we oft en ask ourselves which one we should use? To answer this question we prep are to review the most commonly used error detection tools and present th e findings at SotM US. Our approach includes creating a profile for each tool with the same coding schema with a synthesis of the similarity and d ifferences among these tools. We will also investigate if the tool is eas y to use and how can it be applied. Through our research\, we hope to tri gger a broader discussion and support the community by publishing results to the OSM wiki.

HOT\, the R ed Cross\, local OSM communities & other groups have developed countless use cases and lessons learned in leveraging OSM for disaster response glo bally. Despite strong interest\, there is a significant gap in how the OS M community responds to disasters here in the US. We'll discuss how we ca n replicate that response capacity here in the US.

Using old maps and public documents\, the author has been researching the past and recor ding changes through time into the Open Historical Map. Old maps can be uploaded to the Mapwarper site\, rectified and then used as image layers in JOSM. The images provide geometry and some date information. Early s tructures\, highways and century-old changes in the Jackson Lake water le vel have been added to the OHM database. Using OHM's time slider\, chang es through time can be easily visualized.

Some roads have good a ssociations for sustainable mobility (transit lanes)– other road types ha ve poor associations for sustainable mobility (highways). By being able t o classify the amount of different types of roads in a variety of areas w e can compare road supply type in different cities and neighborhoods. The n\, by pairing it with other social metrics we may identify associations that impact supply. \n DTEND:20220402T220000Z DTSTAMP:20260410T202144Z DTSTART:20220402T214000Z LOCATION:Santa Rita SEQUENCE:330026 STATUS:CONFIRMED SUMMARY:Road Supply Tool UID:SZSESSION305567 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DESCRIPTION:Speaker: William Wetherholt\n\nThis talk gives a rundown of th e current efforts surrounding OSM in the Department of Geography at Frost burg State University in the mountains of Western Maryland.

We prese nt a graph-based solution to the road conflation problem which takes into account the connectivity of the road network. First\, we generate a road network graph in both sources based on bifurcation points. Second\, we c arry out node and edge matching between the graphs. This is followed by t he merging stage where graph edges with matching end nodes get conflated. Newly added roads are connected with the graph based on node and edge ma tching. We carry out experiments on conflating open source footway datase ts from multiple cities with the OSM. The resulting conflated map contain s up to 16x map feature improvements per city with geometrically accurate and smooth results around road junctions.
