TODO - Map quality

Geometry

• generalized_trim_back

  • breaks down when we have jagged lane endings due to polyline shift angle correction
  • sometimes a lane polyline hits the perpendicular of a trimmed road! where was this happening?

• handle small roads again somehow?

  • try manually merging stuff after running the automatic. i think we need to repeat based on short roads. maybe we need kind of a hybrid approach, using the fancy deleter but re-running intersection polygon and halfmap and turn creation from a lower level?

    • make halfmap also be indexed by stable IDs
    • deal with loop roads still
    • restore original road points, then redo the intersection polygon and lane center pt expansion

  • manually draw a picture of the weird intersection to see what would look reasonable. i think we need original road bands from deleted stuff to make decent polygons.

  • what's correct for 14th and e boston? if we had less lanes there, would it help?

  • make the polygons for the merged intersections look better

    • the thick road bands for tiny roads totally vanish... is that good?

  • same for the sidewalk corners

  • make sure the turns are reasonable

  • apply the merge automatically somehow

  • or retry the later-phase intersection merging

    • kind of need the ability to step through and see each stage...
    • composite turns have inner loops!
    • deal with all TODOs (like sidewalks)

  • model U-turns

• degenerate-2's should only have one crosswalk

  • then make them thinner

• ped paths through sidewalk corners are totally broken

  • calculate the better paths first, then make the corner geometry from that?

• car turns often clip sidewalk corners now

• 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?

• 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

• 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 ALL water and greenery areas
• draw benches, bike racks
• render trees
• look for current stop sign priorities

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
  • Some lane-changing model needed to determine this
• Impossible turns (from a far bus lane to a crazy left)

Release

• publish the map data
• stabilize the code except for sim
