Package org.osid.mapping.path

package org.osid.mapping.path

The Open Service Interface Definitions for the org.osid.mapping.path service.

The Mapping Path OSID provides a means for managing spatial paths. This service may be used to link routing information with geospatial information or to simulate or monitor physical traffic.

Path

A Path is any interconnection that may represent a road, hallway, or orbit. A Path is plotted along a series of Coordinates to describe its geometry or may include data to generate the path from an equation.

A multi-lane road may be modeled as a series of individual paths along side each other. Each Path may have its own intersections, speed zones, obstacles, and signals.

Intersections

Intersections define a crossing of Paths where one can move from one Path to another. Different types of Intersections may exist including forks and rotaries.

Speed Zones

A SpeedZone specifies the speed limit between a set of Coordinates on a Path . SpeedZones may be manually created or automatically generated based on conditions along a Path .

Signals

A Signal represents some instruction to traffic along a Path . A Signal may be a traffic light, stop sign, or other control point in which to collect data about moving Resources .

Obstacles

Obstacles represent an obstruction that impacts the travel between a set of Coordinates along a Path . Obstacles may be used to generate implicit SpeedZones or completely block a Path .

Sub Packages

The Mapping Path OSID contains a Mapping Path Rules OSID for managing the effectiveness of SppedZones and Obstacles as well as a Mapping Path Batch OSID for managing Paths , Intersections , Signals , and Obstacles in bulk.
