As a follow-up of the European Cycling Declaration, DG MOVE requested the European standardisation body CEN to pave the way for the standardisation of the digital description of cycling infrastructure. Taking a new approach to CEN standardisation, the experts group behind the Cyclinfra project decided to build from the existing. Their first playground: OpenStreetMap and its data on cycling infrastructure and cycle parking. They explored and extracted the data from OSM to conduct research on European baseline for cycling infrastructure. Considering that a large amount of European cities use OpenStreetMap and open-source tools weaved into it for their GIS data, it would only be logic that the future CEN standards are strongly interoperable with OSM and its most frequently used tags for cycling. In this session, we will present the Cyclinfra project, its methodology, how OSM will be used to build CEN standards, and how you can contribute!
