Things I am currently working on:

Contents 1 Tiles@Home 2 QA - Quality_Assurance 3 Checking the street network of Braunschweig for completeness. 4 postal_code entries for roads in and around Braunschweig

Tiles@Home

• I used to run the t@h client on a Mac mini (Core2Duo, 2 GHz, 3GB RAM). Results could be seen at t@h (out of service)

QA - Quality_Assurance

• Following the completeness check of Braunschweig's streets, I started to run other consistency checks on the osm data of Braunschweig.
• Currently a script updates the reports whenever necessary (updates of the official street name list of the city of Braunschweig)
• Results can be found on Braunschweig-qa

Checking the street network of Braunschweig for completeness.

• I used the information from this rectified image
  

  

  Stadtbezirke Braunschweig Metacarta-ID: 65
  to draw polygons on the map with josm.
• With the conversion tool osm2poly.pl the polygons (osm-xml format) were transformed to a polyline (ASCII Text).
• With the java based osmosis tool it is possible to extract 'cut-outs' from any osm file.
• Those 'cut-outs' were fed to the script SV-Stat.pl and its configuration files to generate a list of streets within a certain area. Doing this for all 20 areas of Braunschweig provided a list of all streets with area information.
• The list was checked against the 'official' list of the city for completeness and is now even more accurate, as a few 'non-existing-streets' were identified (streets, which vanished due to new buildings, but are still in the city's index).
• Results can be seen on the page Abgleich and more recently Braunschweig-stat and their discussion pages accordingly.
• Every now and then I download the latest niedersachsen.osm.bz2 data from geofabrik.de, run osmosis and SV-Stat.pl and upload the results to this place to check for problems.

postal_code entries for roads in and around Braunschweig

• This picture is from 26.03.2009 and shows the state of postal_code entries. Unfortuately I forgot to take a blank picture in September 2008 :-)
