The design of road conditions mapping system by utilizing openstreetmap spatial data

Abstract

Land transportation still becomes a vital role in human and material mobility to date. In developing countries, like Indonesia, the development of land transportation infrastructure is growing very fast, but the level of road damage is also still quite high. Therefore, road users need information on road conditions that will be passed. This research proposes the use of openstreetmap data to develop spatial data of road conditions dynamically and inexpensively, because it is open access and free editable. The focus is to design spatial data of road conditions and to present a visualization of road condition maps based on Openstreetmap. The raw data will be exported to the Spatial Database Management Systems (SDBMS) and then redesigned the data so that the system can add the status of road condition on each road segments. The result is a system design that can store spatial data and present a visualization of the road condition map. With this system, anyone can update the condition data of a road and can access the road condition map through the web and mobile applications.
