In January 2006, software called Java OpenStreetMap Editor (JOSM) that allowed users to edit OSM data both online and offline (OSM List Contributor January 2006) was released. At this time, OSM participation increased and through the support of a company called bytemark, OSM was able to quickly decentralize their system and split the wild, mailing list, and other features to a virtual machine (OpenStreetMap February 2006). Building on the new merged interface, OSM released a new interactive page for reviewing and searching shared GPS traces in March 2006 (OpenStreetMap March 2006). In October 2006, version 1.4 of JOSM called “JOSM Birthday Release” debuted (OpenStreetMap October 2006). This new version improved developers’ ability to extend the features of JOSM through plug-ins and optimized JOSM performance. An example of a JOSM plug-in is shown in Figure 6.6 (White 2006). In November 2006, OSM began implementing a technology called a Slippy map, still used today, to render the main map page and incorporate project layers into the map (OpenStreetMap November 2006).

For the applications tested in [77] road networks were imported from OpenStreetMap. In particular, the maps using Java OpenStreetMap Editor (JOSM)3 were cleaned with XMLStarlet4 before applying SUMO’s netconvert.

The general building and terrain footprints of an urban environment can be gathered from OpenStreetMap directly or purchased in an importable computer-aided design (CAD) format from CADMAPPER (Refs. 42 and 43). The CADMAPPER website provides a user interface to create three-dimensional (3-D) CAD models of the terrain, buildings, roads, parks, waterways, etc., for any user-selected region of the map. Once the user has selected a region of the map, a 3-D CAD model can be generated and imported into the user’s CAD program of choice. The data downloaded directly from OpenStreetMap have to be edited and converted before the user can import them into a CAD program. JOSM is an open-source extensible editor for OpenStreetMap data, and within JOSM the user can edit the OpenStreetMap data to delete certain features not necessary for valid representation of the urban environment, such as lines representing roads, subway tracks, park benches, trees, etc.44 Once the OpenStreetMap data are cleaned up in JOSM, the user can then open the OpenStreetMap data in OSM2World to convert the data into a importable CAD file format.45 Once the urban environment data are imported into a CAD program, the user must clean up the model to ensure that there are no overlaps, interferences, or spline surfaces in the model and to make sure the overall model is “water tight.”
