TrafficMining Project goes open source

Quite some time ago I wrote about a little demo that was published at SIGMOD 2010 and SSTD 2011 (see post1 and post2).

The TrafficMining project could be described shortly as:

An academic framework for routing algorithms based on OpenStreetMapdata. Actually this framework is not intended to replace current routing applications but to provide an easy to use GUI for testing and developing new routing algorithms on real OpenStreetMap data.

Well, what makes this worth a post is the fact that we finally switched development over to GoogleCode with a discussion group at Google Groups.
GoogleCode has the major advantage of a Mercurial repository, an issue tracker, easy code reviews and an miproved possibility to contribute code. If you just want to follow the development, just join the google group or keep a bookmark to the project’s update feed.

By the way: the PAROS and MARiO downloads can be found there in the downloads section.

MARiO: Multi Attribute Routing in Open Street Map

Yeah, I got a new Publication accepted at Symposium on Spatial and Temporal Databases (SSTD) 2011 that is dealing with OpenStreetMap Data (using the JXMapKit and JXMapViewer).

MARiO: Multi Attribute Routing in Open Street Map

Conference Date: August 24th – 26th, 2011
Conference Location: Minneapolis, MN, USA.

Abstract:

In recent years, the Open Street Map (OSM) project collected a large repository of spatial network data containing a rich variety of information about traffic lights, road types, points of interest etc.. Formally, this network can be described as a multi-attribute graph, i.e. a graph considering multiple attributes when describing the traversal of an edge. In this demo, we present our framework for Multi Attribute Routing in Open Street Map (MARiO). MARiO includes methods for preprocessing OSM data by deriving attribute information and integrating additional data from external sources. There are several routing algorithms already available and additional methods can be easily added by using a plugin mechanism. Since routing in a multi-attribute environment often results in large sets of potentially interesting routes, our graphical fronted allows various views to interactively explore query results.
