radlkarte.at

Website for desktop, tablet & smartphone usage with the goal to provide useful (route) information for cyclists.

If you use the software and/or route data the preferred way to credit is: © radlkarte.at - Radlobby Österreich

Features

• Show recommended bicycle routes
  • Three quality types of route segments: calm, medium, stressful
  • Three importance levels of route segments: main, regional, local
    • Hide parts of the recommended routes when zooming out (for a better overview)
  • Special properties of the routes
    • Oneway (arrow)
    • Steep (bristles)
    • Unpaved (dotted lines)
• Automatically switch to the bicycle routes of the currently viewed region
• Show problematic points along the route where dismounting or usage of heavy/wide bicycles may not be possible
• Show POIs relevant for cycling (bike-sharing stations, bicycle shops,..)
• GPS localization (especially useful for mobile devices)
• Geocoding (address search)

Route Data

Route data is stored in GeoJSON format with the following attributes.

Line Attributes

Mandatory:

• priority=0 (highest), 1 (medium), 2 (lowest)
• stress=0 (no stress), 1 (medium), 2 (a lot of stress)

Optional (omitting the attributes means no):

• oneway=yes: route only legal in one direction
• steep=yes: very steep, e.g. more than 5-6%, but excluding short ramps
• unpaved=yes: dirt, gravel or extremely uneven surfaces even though they are paved

See the detailed explanations in index.html for when to choose which priority / stress category.

In addition an id is automatically generated by the prepare_geojson.py script.

Point Attributes

• dismount=yes: bicycle must or should be pushed (in at least one direction), either due to legal restrictions or because it's a very dangerous spot
• nocargo=yes: not feasible for heavy/extra-long/extra-wide bicycles, e.g. cargo bicycles or bikes with trailers due to e.g. stairs or chicanes
• warning=yes: problematic location, should always be combined with the description attribute
• description: string explaining details shown to users in a popup

Edit Instructions

1. Install JOSM
2. Add josm-radlkarte-style.mapcss in Edit > Preferences… > Map Paint Styles (~9^th buttom from the top) (In older JOSM versions Map Paint Styles is under Map Settings (3^rd button from the top).)
3. Load an existing radlkarte GeoJSON file, e.g. radlkarte-example.geojson, or create a new layer
4. Edit routes
5. Save the result as GeoJSON (not as .osm!)
6. Prepare (minify, add bbox,..) the .geojson with prepare_geojson.py
   • with development tools: yarn geojson [path to GeoJSON file]
   • without development tools: ./data/prepare_geojson.py [path to GeoJSON file]
