<h2>Vision</h2>
<p>Sidewalks provide a primary mode of travel that supports nearly all other travel options, leisure,
recreation and community activities. This project seeks to make <a href="#terms">pedestrian ways</a>,
particularly sidewalks, first class members of an open data transportation network. The <a
href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/">OpenStreetMap</a> (OSM) project has made available
extensive, user-contributed open data on transportation networks, providing the basis for many use cases
and downstream activities, including rich analytics, travel route optimization, city planning, and
disaster relief. Some footways have been annotated in OSM as independent routes. However, sidewalks in
the built environment have generally been treated an addendum to streets.</p>
<p>As a result, sidewalks in OSM have spotty coverage and an unintuitive implementation. The current
standard makes user contribution difficult and fails to serve many use cases, including the needs of
people with limited mobility. This project proposes to jumpstart an effort to generate an OSM-based
pedestrian network with global coverage.</p>

<h2>Timeline</h2></header>
<p>There are two phases to the proposed DSSG work, each of which represents a significant contribution to
different stakeholder groups.</p>
</div>
<div class="container" text-align="left">
<h4>PHASE I (Deadline: July 11)</h4>
<p>The DSSG will work to adapt an OSM data layer for use with sidewalk data, the group will learn what nuances
in the sidewalk data impact both standardized incorporation into OSM as well as ability to route. The group
will draft an OSM standard for sidewalk representation and annotation with the following objectives:
<p>
<ol>
<li>Extension of the current OSM standard, focusing on innovation for pedestrian routing applications with
particular attention to accessibility
</li>
<li>Compatibility with existing sidewalk data, as well as extensibility for manually added and municipally
collected sidewalk data
</li>
<li>Data sharing - Facilitate importing and exporting of data through simple, clear standards for
annotation
</li>
<li>Extended sidewalk data, in order to enable:
<ol>
<li>Routing - Facilitate pedestrian routing with support for classes of different accessibility
features
</li>
<li>Basic visual map display - Support meaningful visual interpretations of pedestrian data (ideally
with existing rendering software) by capturing key features in a standardized format
</li>
<li>Annotation of significant accessibility features:
<ol>
<li>Terrain - Support annotation of incline grade that is compatible with OSM standards and
accessibility needs
</li>
<li>Junction views - Support detailed annotation of intersections and crossings of
pedestrian ways
</li>
<li>3D objects, landmarks, points of interest - Support detailed annotations of objects in
and features of pedestrian ways
</li>
</ol>
</li>
</ol>
</li>
</ol>
</div>
<div class="container" text-align="left">
<h4>PHASE II (Deadline: August 12)</h4>
<p>The DSSG team will design and implement prototype tools to import sidewalk data from existing datasets and
manual annotation. These tools must support recognition of potential conflicts between newly imported and
existing pedestrian OSM data in order to facilitate supervised integration of new sidewalk information.
Specifically, the DSSG team aims to build:
<p>
<ol>
<li>Tool(s) to facilitate users’ annotation of pedestrian ways, supporting:
<ol>
<li>GPS-based mapping of pedestrian ways with endpoints indicated by users</li>
<li>Labeling of significant pedestrian features (as described above)</li>
</ol>
</li>
<li>Tool(s) to facilitate importing of pedestrian way data from public sources, including:
<ol>
<li>Supporting bulk import of pedestrian data from standard formats (e.g., geojson, shapefiles,
KML)
</li>
<li>Testing (of both the data specification and tool) by incorporating data from multiple
municipalities into a private OSM layer
</li>
</ol>
</li>
</ol>

<!-- Terminology -->
<section id="terms" class="wrapper style2">
<div class="container margin-bottom-40">
<header class="major">
<h2>Terminology</h2>
</header>
<p>We attempt to use terminology consistent with OSM’s language for pedestrian ways. We use “sidewalks” to
delineate pedestrian-accessible footways associated with larger streets. Our standard applies to the
broader category of “pedestrian ways” or a “pedestrian network,” which includes all paths, sidewalks,
crossings, and other routes that are accessible by foot or with the use of assistive devices, regardless
of accessibility by other forms of transportation.</p>

<h2>Team</h2>
<p>OpenSidewalks is led by the <a href=https://tcat.cs.washington.edu/">Taskar Center for </a> (TCAT) at the University of Washington, whose mission is to develop and deploy technologies that improve quality of life for people with disabilities.</p>
<p><a href="http://urban.uw.edu">Urban@UW</a>, a partnering University of Washington coalition, has fostered long-term partnerships with key leaders and stakeholders to prioritize urgent urban challenges and support equitable urban growth.</p>

<h2>Data Science for Social Good 2016</h2>
</header>
<p>The University of Washington's eScience Institute provided an opportunity for the OpenSidewalks project to develop as a part of their Data Science for Social Good program that took place in the summer of 2016. Through this program an interdisciplinary team of project leads, data scientists, and student fellows spent 10 weeks pushing the project forward. </p>
