GoogleMaps or OpenStreetMap Analysis

Primary supervisor

David Taniar

Are you interested in programming maps, such as GoogleMaps or Open Street Maps? This project uses online maps extensively for visualising routes, and other objects of interest.

Student cohort

Double Semester

Aim/outline

The project involves programming GoogleMaps or OSM using their APIs. This includes identifying road networks and their granularities, cleaning trajectories on road networks, and shortest routes considering various constraints, such as traffic, transport modalities, and costs. 

Most of my Master's students were able to publish a paper from their project. The following are some sample papers that they have published from their projects.

 

Required knowledge

  • You should have a strong programming background;
  • Familiarity with Spatial DBMS (e.g. PostGIS) and map visualisation (e.g. QGIS) is preferable;
  • Familiarity with Google Maps APIs or OpenStreetMap APIs is preferable.
