F1 GIS

This project showcases an implementation of the open race track format for designing race tracks.

With this I intend to:

• exercise the creation of tracks and come up with tutorial content;
• validate the how well this format captures relevant track data;
• how easy it is to use the parsed data and generate 2D/3D content from it suitable for game usage.

Will also try to create a simple Javascript racing game using the parsed track information, although that is not the main goal of this repo.

Plan

• rt.geojson parsing completeness
  • 2D
    • track and pit
    • starting-grid and pit-stop
    • dts
    • sections
    • raceway=start-finish
    • multiple widths
    • alignment-from-track
    • model and model-batch
    • track decorations
    • terrain-material
    • buildings
    • identify best curve side to place labels/annotations
  • 3D
    • same support as 2D
    • height
    • camber
    • cross-sections + track decorations
    • follow track cam
    • uv mapping
• documentation
  • briefly document the parser, if it gets to a usable shape
  • write a tutorial on how to create rt.geojson tracks from scratch
• sample apps
  • debug drawing in canvas
  • render 3D track from parsed data

Bugs

• start and end way orientations seem skewed
• parsed data should be centered on 0,0, it isn't yet

Tools

• JOSM (brew install josm)
• vscode with geojson as json (see .vscode/settings.json)
