Hallo Damien
About a “turning_radius” tag:
- How should a mapper collect this data? I have absolutely no clue what value I should use for a given curve or crossing.
- If you have any kind of crossing ways, you need turning_radius for every pair of roads. This looks like turn_restriction relations.
Here another idea:
- Use the existing geometry (angel between two way segments connected at a point) and width (use a default for normal tracks)
- Do some math and geometry to calculate, if a truck of a given width can pass this way.
- Perhaps you have to look on more than one node (more than two way segments) if the way nodes are very close.
Best regards
Michael

Hello,
I do a bachelor in forestery in a high school (HAFL Zollikofen). For my bachelor thesis, I would like develop a navigation system for the trucks in the forest (wood transport) with OpenStreetMap. But for the mapping, one tag is noexistent. I need to indicate the turning radius, it's very important to now when we can go in the bends with the trucks.
What do you think about "turning_radius=** (in meter)" ?
Thanks you and best regards,
Damien Jordan
