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 (~9th buttom from the top) (In older JOSM versions Map Paint Styles is under Map Settings (3rd 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]
