OSM-3D

OSM-3D is a research project carried out at the GIScience Research Group, University of Heidelberg. It investigates how Volunteered Geographic Information and freely available data sets can be incorporated in a 3D Spatial Data Infrastructure at global scale. OpenStreetMap has a very active and dynamic community which can adapt to new circumstances and requirements very quickly. Mapping activities after the earthquake in Haiti in 2010 showed how motivated this community can be if spatial information can help disaster response teams plan their activities. These "hot spots" and densely populated places are often the origin of new features and functionalities, for instance the Emergency Route Service taking into account barriers and unpassable roads...
