This page is intended to collect all ideas concerning indoor mapping activities.

Contents

Use cases

Indoor maps or information can be used for various applications, e.g.

  • Indoor Navigation/Routing
  • 3D Visualization
  • 2D Maps
  • Public Participation
  • Emergency response
  • Interested Amenities Display (e.g. Toilets, Fire Extinguisher, First Aid Box)

for different venues, e.g.

  • Airports
  • Hotels
  • Universities
  • Schools
  • Museums
  • Train and subway stations
  • Shopping Malls
  • multi storey parking decks
  • other public buildings

The following page contains a list of venue use case examples, with sample maps from the venues: indoor/use cases

Communication

There is now a new subforum for Indoor-Mapping:

Let's try to increase the communication in this project. --Andi 12:03, 3 October 2012 (BST)

Tagging

Tags in use

  • level=n - indicates floor level as it is indicated "in real world".
    • <n> is usually an integer number, sometimes also one or two characters, sometimes combined (e.g. A,B,C,1,2,3).
    • in any case, <n> should be ascending (towards the sky).
    • in some cultures base level is indicated by level 0, in other cultures ground floor is level 1 (or A).
    • there are also usages reported where fraction numbers are used (e.g. level=2.5) indicating a "mezzanine" or "intermediate level" (e.g. intermediate stairway platforms).

Room number and name is entered in the ref=* and name=* tag.

  • room=yes - see key wiki page for additional values to describe the type more detailed
  • entrance=yes - room or building entrance
  • capacity=* - number of seats in a room

proposed Tags

  • highway=corridor - indoor ways
  • indoor=yes - indicates any osm object being inside a room, a building (or both) or a shelter.
    • mandatory has to be discussed, I would prefer an outdoor=yes for the difficult cases. --Saerdnaer 16:48, 28 March 2011 (BST)

Rendering

  • Are there already engines rendering several levels in buildings or subway stations?
    • Yes, but currently there is currently no public accessible demonstration. --Saerdnaer 14:50, 1 December 2011 (UTC)
    • for the IndoorOSM model proposal there is a 2D online map available: http://indoorosm.uni-hd.de
    • A small group of students (including myself) at Technical University of Munich has developed a basic 2D rendering engine for the Proposed_features/indoor proposal. It will be published around 26th of April. --andreas.balzer 01:17, 13 April 2012 (UTC)
  • Idea: If there are levels in an area, there shall be an icon placed. If you click it, you can choose with one of the levels (e.g. 2nd floor) shall be displayed.

Routing

  • The altitude value of GPS devices could be used to identify in which level of a parking multi storey a car is located.

Devices / Technologies

  • High sensitivity GPS device
  • Step counter
  • Compass
  • Accelleration sensor
  • Counting the number of wheel turns in cars / Tachometer
  • Counting the number of floor tiles
  • RFID
  • WLAN
  • Bluetooth
  • Camera
  • Audio footprint for rooms
