DE:Rheinland-Pfalz/LBM OSM Pilot Project
Background
In 2024, the Landesbetrieb Mobilität Rheinland-Pfalz decided to make select data open for use in OpenStreetMap. This helps solve a few key issues that officials face. Official data is often kept in a form that works for specific departments or functions, but this can make it difficult to mix and use for other, newer projects. Contributing to OpenStreetMap creates a central repository that improves the accuracy with officially surveyed data, and allows public participation in keeping attributes more current.
The long-term goal is to establish a symbiotic update cycle in which official data is regularly uploaded, and public improvements are used to keep network attributes more current. This page serves as the central point to document the overall status and progress of the pilot project.
Project Phases
The project has been divided into five phases:
| Phase | Goals | Status | Notes |
| Phase I | Project Coordination | Completed | |
| Phase II | Add Network Nodes | In Progress | Adding network nodes as a common basis for adding and referencing future data sets. |
| Phase III | Add Motorways | Pending | Goes through the conflation process to merge official data with current road networks, improving center-lines and network accuracy. |
| Phase IV | Add cross-sectional attributes | Pending | Adds cross-sectional details referenced from center-lines to add network attributes assigned to individual road sections. |
| Phase V | Implement/Document Maintenance and update cycle. | Pending |
License
For the purposes of the pilot project, the network nodes (Netzknotenpunkte) were released under CC0.
