TODO - Map quality

Boundary clipping

• some border intersections have weird OOBish geometry, or the arrows look weird
• simplify border node detection, only do it in convert_osm?

Geometry

• bad polyline shifting remains

  • from the remaining cases, looks like we need to totally remove some tight points and retry
  • make polygons use the corrections too?
  • bad polyline shifting causes jagged lane endings in generalized_trim_back

• handle small roads again somehow?

  • reduce degenerate min trim. the disabled fix doesn't look great.
  • I40, I25, I0 cut corners when merged. disabled fix works, but breaks other things.
  • try it bigger
  • deal with loop roads?
  • model U-turns

• car turns often clip sidewalk corners now

• draw SharedSidewalkCorners just around the ped path, not arbitrarily thick

  • dont forget to draw the notches

• figure out what to do about yellow center lines

  • intersections on one-ways look weird
  • yellow and white lines intersect cars and turn icons and such
  • who should own drawing them?

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)
• draw benches, bike racks
• render trees
• look for current stop sign priorities
  • https://gis-kingcounty.opendata.arcgis.com/datasets/traffic-signs--sign-point/
• http://guides.lib.uw.edu/research/gis/uw-lib_data has cool stuff, but .lyr??

Low-priority geometry issues

• if building front path intersects another building, then scrap that building.

  • or wait, just require bldgs to be even closer to sidewalk first.
  • need to do polygon vs polygon check!
  • will need to speed it up with quadtree containing entire buildings. make sure these are easy to use.

• can we make OSM buildings with holes?

  • experiment with https://docs.rs/clipping/0.1.1/clipping/gh/struct.CPolygon.html and https://github.com/21re/rust-geo-booleanop

More problems to fix

• Disconnected map
  • now that LCing model is simple...
• Impossible turns (from a far bus lane to a crazy left)
• Buildings intersecting roads, probably because bad lane inference
  • when this happens, get rid of parking lanes first (one or both sides?)
  • iterative process... have to redo affected roads and intersections
  • we havent filtered buildings by proximity to sidewalk yet
    • if we dont filter at all, we pick up some houseboats! :) should draw water...

Map edits

• lane type can affect border intersections
• lane type can affect turn idx
  • assert turns are the same

Sim bugs/tests needed

• do bikes use bike lanes?
• test that peds will use buses organically
  • make sure that we can jump to a ped on a bus and see the bus
• park/unpark needs to jump two lanes in the case of crossing a bike lane or something
  • should only be able to park from the closest lane, though!
• explicit tests making cars park at 0 and max_dist, peds walk to 0 and max_dist
• lanechange rebalancing
• parking/unparking on offside of oneway

Discrete-event sim model

• cleanup after the cutover

  • proper intersection policies, by seeing full view
  • time travel mode can be very smart
  • dupe code for initially spawning vs spawning when a trip leg starts.
    • validation (just do it in spawn and return an error?)
    • getting the path
    • converting goal into router and such

• perf

  • dig into individual events, still too many?
    • for laggy heads, often round down and try slightly too early

Laundry list of intersection geometry ideas

• make sure road widths are reasonable first
  • SDOT dataset
  • channelization
• extend all the thick roads until they poke out of stuff (except for roads continuing straight)
• play with https://github.com/w8r/polygon-offset
• https://github.com/migurski/Skeletron
• stitch together orig center line of adj roads. then do polyline shifting, which already handles angle eating?
• manually draw intersections
  • montlake/520 4 traffic signal case. existing road geometry in OSM doesn't even cover everything.
