Gaza Map for Routing
The service is currently deployed at: Gaza Map
Community Routing Service to provide Aid and Health Services to Gaza
Due to the sad events of January 2009 a need for street data and an ambulance routing service was identified by NGOs and aid agencies. This application was developed for this purpose.
How does Gaza Map work?
The service uses the most recent data snapshot from OpenStreetMap along with PostGIS, pgRouting and Ruby on Rails to create a webservice for routing.
Using RESTful webservice
Below are some of the ways you can use this webservice:
GET new routes
This is how you get a new route
POST a new ambulance
This is how you can enter data to identify you new ambulance
PUT to update your ambulance location
To update you ambulance location you can use this webservice from a GSM or internet enabled GPS
