public transport interchange assistance

The goal of this app is to collect accessibility data for public transport stops in OpenStreetMap so that everyone can benefit from it. Due to the huge amount of public transport stops out there we want to encourage all citizen (experienced OSM users and newcomers) to help gathering this data. That's why we are developing this app that allows collecting the data in an easy, accessible and safe manner by asking simple questions. For deeper insight read the working principle of the app.

The data shall be the foundation for better routing especially for impaired people and lead to a renovation of non accessible stops, as well as many other things we ourselves can't even imagine right now.

Thanks and happy mapping!

Contributing

We are always happy, if you not only want to help us mapping, but also want to directly participate in the project.

You can either open issues for enhancement suggestions and bug reports or help us developing the app further. A good starting point for the latter is to read the build instructions for the app.

You can also help translating the app at Weblate.

pia's Issues

Implement fused location provider

The goal is to create a Service that takes the GPS position and the indoor position and outputs the one with the higher accuracy (both systems provide an accuracy parameter).

Indoor Map Styling

• if level < 0 (underground) hide all buildings, areas, water etc. that are not on this level
• if level > 0 (above ground floor) show a darkened overlay
• show next lower level rooms (not POIs!) below the current level in a darkened style.

Further idea: Color stairs differently. Fade them out in downwards direction. (from current level style to the darkened style of the next level)
Same could be done for the routing path.
Probably would require additional properties/data to achieve this (like start_level & end_level).
