# Urbanistic Polygons

Builds areas based on urban properties and merges similar areas of OSM for analysis reasons.

[![Build status](https://build.anyways.eu/app/rest/builds/buildType:(id:anyways_MobilityData_UrbanisticPolygons)/statusIcon)](https://build.anyways.eu/viewType.html?buildTypeId=anyways_MobilityData_UrbanisticPolygons)  

The algorithm works in three steps:

1. [Build](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planarization) a planar graph based on all types of barriers that are relevant, for example:

  - Roads.

  - Water bodies.

  - Landuse polygons.

  ![raw data](docs/screenshot2.png)

2. This planer graph defines polygons by definition. Assign urban scores to each polygons. We use the following categories but they are configurable:

  - `water`

  - `residential`

  - `rural`

  - `industrial`

  ![basic polygons](docs/screenshot1.png)

3. Merge polygons based on their similarities and the type of barrier between them.
