TODO for Phase 1 (Basemap)

• huge maps

  • manually mark polygon for the part of seattle to simulate
  • maybe need a quadtree for sidewalk finding to actually work (slightly weird, because no render layer -- use center points only)
  • look into all the warnings (trim failing, no driving lane for buses, duplicate turns)

• lots more data

  • lanes: https://data-seattlecitygis.opendata.arcgis.com/datasets/49d417979fec452981a068ca078e7070_3
    • not filled out for most streets
  • traffic circles: https://data-seattlecitygis.opendata.arcgis.com/datasets/717b10434d4945658355eba78b66971a_6
  • https://data-seattlecitygis.opendata.arcgis.com/datasets/sidewalks
    • disagrees with OSM road centers sometimes
  • https://data-seattlecitygis.opendata.arcgis.com/datasets/curb-ramps
  • high quality thick roads: https://seattlecitygis.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=86cb6824307c4d63b8e180ebcff58ce2
  • OSM has footways
    • but theyre not marked everywhere
    • and theyre hard to associate with roads (sometimes need to infer a planter strip)

• maybe also the time to split into different lane types? what's similar/not between them?

  • graph querying?
  • rendering (and other UI/editor interactions)?
  • sim state?

• more data

  • draw ALL water and greenery areas
  • draw benches, bike racks
    • more generally, a way to display random GIS data from seattle site (kml)
  • render trees
  • do need to mouseover shapefile things and see full data
  • grab number of phases from traffic signal shp
  • look for current stop sign priorities
    • https://gis-kingcounty.opendata.arcgis.com/datasets/traffic-signs--sign-point/

• polish geometry

  • new center polylines
    • explode out at some angles
  • draw intersections at dead-ends
  • shift turn icons and stop markings and such away from crosswalk
  • interpret failed shifting/polyline attempt as implying something about the lane specs
  • figure out what to do about yellow center lines
    • yellow and white lines intersect cars and turn icons and such
    • who should own drawing them?
    • trim them back too (maybe to avoid hitting the intersection?)

• code cleanup

  • move map_model geometry stuff elsewhere (sim stuff also needs it though)
  • merge control map into one of the other layers?

• better drawing

  • detailed turns, like https://i.ytimg.com/vi/NH6R3RH_ZDY/maxresdefault.jpg
  • rooftops

• color tuning

  • neutral (white or offwhite) color and make noncritical info close to that. http://davidjohnstone.net/pages/lch-lab-colour-gradient-picker, chroma < 50
