Maybe, or maybe not. Routers may adjust routing decisions for each surface type. Asphalt and sett could be "paved" for rendering, but for routing there may be a preference towards asphalt roads. Here in Brazil, taking this into account when computing routes would greatly improve route quality within cities outside main ways (in secondaries, tertiaries, etc.). A smarter router could even change this preference based on weather conditions (under rain, sett gets considerably slippery, and dirt would be far less preferable than compacted).
[Such a smart router probably doesn't exist yet, but with OSM data, it can. OSRM has everything to allow such fine tuning.] On Wed, Jan 1, 2014 at 8:09 PM, Pieren <pier...@gmail.com> wrote: > On Wed, Jan 1, 2014 at 8:54 PM, Fernando Trebien > <fernando.treb...@gmail.com> wrote: >> Listing 1: way count of paved ways > : > : >> Listing 2: way count of unpaved ways > : > : > > Finally, we just need a "paved" and "unpaved" value for "surface". > This combined with tracktype would be far enough and simple for > everyone. > > Pieren > > _______________________________________________ > Tagging mailing list > Tagging@openstreetmap.org > https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging -- Fernando Trebien +55 (51) 9962-5409 "The speed of computer chips doubles every 18 months."
