FOSS4G 2023 Prizren

Various disciplines such as traffic simulations, driving simulations and applications in autonomous driving require highly detailed road network datasets. OpenDRIVE evolved as an open industry standard for modelling of lane-level road networks (HD maps). Acquiring such datasets is very expensive tough because it has to be done through mobile mapping in most cases. We want to introduce to the FOSS4G community two recently and openly published road network datasets from Brunswick (https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.7071846) and Wolfsburg (https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.7072631). Investment in both datasets has been funded by German authorities and covered more than 100.000 Euro. This talk will also give a short appetiser on how to use this data with free and open GIS tools.
